Manipulating Navigator's History Object
Is there any way to manipulate the history list???
For example:
After a user goes through a logon screen (HTML0), I have a screen (HTML1) that upon loading (onLoad event) sets the location of the window to a diffent URL (HTML2). The problem is, is if the user clicks the back button, they are taken back to the HTML1 screen (and within a second or so placed right back in HTML2) but I want a single click of the back button to take them to the HTML0 screen where they can logon again.
More specifically:
HTML0 --> HTML1 --> HTML2
^---------B-A-C-K--------- +
What I am thinking is that once the HTML1 page is loaded, it removes itself from the history list and then proceeds to load the HTML2 page. Therefore if the user clicks the back button, he/she will be taken to HTML0 as desired.
Can this be done???
Thank You
