I think this will work for you:



<script language="JavaScript1.2"><!--

history.back('yourURL');

//--></script>

Subject: [Javascript] Clear history onload=





Does anyone have a function  that will clear the history so a user

cannot

use the back button to "go back" or use the address drop down (tool bar)

to

select a URL where a previous user was?



I have an application where new users share a computer. These new users

should not be able to go back to (or view) where a previous user was. I

would like the first screen of my application to clear the history to

null

each time that first page loaded.



All of my users will be using IE 5.0. All of our browswers are set to

reload a new page each time and not cache.



Thanks!
