I am runnning an ASP application site, and I would like to make sure that the pages are loaded from the server everytime. Obviously this happens with ASP, however not when the BACK button is used. I would like to make sure the page is reloaded when the user backs up. Any suggestions ?

timed refresh meta tag, very crude method though.

Hi,

Try using the referrer. Sort of:
if (referrer == somepage.html) reload();

Thank you for the responses, here is a better example of what I am looking for.

I would like to use Javascript to know whether or not the BACK button was pressed then look at the previous history and redirect to it, so that it will load again.

More input please !

Hi,

Try using the history object (current, previous, next).
histCur = history.current;
histPrev = history.previous;

The properties return an index into the history list. If you name your files -- file1.html, file2.html -- you should be able to compare them.

Hope this helps.
