Where has my previous page gone?

[spacedhopper]

Hi i use a piece of script that allows my page to break out of other peoples frames:


<SCRIPT>
<!--
if (self != top){
if (document.images) top.location.replace(self.location);
else top.location = self.location;}
// -->
</SCRIPT>

This works great, but if i click back, doesn't keep the previous page in history, or just completely bypasses it. See here (http://ibs.derby.ac.uk/avru/test/test.htm) for an example.

Can anybody tell me how to get around this?

Try this one instead:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (top.location != self.location) top.location.replace(self.location)
// -->
</script>

My guess is you don't want to use top.location.replace() as the replace() function replaces the current location in the history.

I'm quite sure that you do want to use replace, otherwise when you step back you will be thrown forwards again. You have to remove from the history the page that does the redirecting.

Hi thanks for the reply. It still doesn't work though. It allows me to go back now, but seems to go back one page too far.

See above example again.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure what's going on, your page is now crashing my browser. That might be your HTML. It's a strange combination of HTML and XHTML and it doesn't conform to any DTD with which I'm familiar.

Oh dear that is probably my inexperience showing!! Thanks for trying anyway - back to the drawing board!!
