>Hi Bret,

>I have a small in-house inventory ordering html app. I saw the code below you posted and I put in the last page of the ordering process. I call this page the Order Confirmation Page and it that shows the user what they ordered, and gives them an order # so that they can refer to it later. They get to this page from a page I call the "Submit Order Page"

To clear things up a little, here I go:

Here is actually how the JavaScript is supposed to work.
Lets say I am sitting on page A.htm and then I go to page B.htm.
On page B.htm I have the following JavaScript which is executed
when I press a button.
< SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
self.location.replace('C.htm’) ;
< / SCRIPT>
Page A and B are currently in the History list as I sit on page B.htm.
When the button on page B.htm is pressed and the above script is executed,
the browser will overwrite B.htm in the history list with C.htm and then go to C.htm.

Now, If I press the back button, I will go to page A.htm,
B.htm is no longer in the list.
I have not found a way to manipulate the history list at will.

I hope this helps clear up a misunderstanding with the script.
