Is it possible to create a button that when clicked, erases browser history, and how would I go about it? This button would be embeded in a webpage.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Can't be done, you only have controll over your own webpage, not anything stored on anyone elses computer.

Well it might be able to be done but only with MSIE thats always full of bugs and security holes.

You can always open a new window and close the old one. Internet Explorer has a flaw that enables the page to close if opener has been defined:


opener=open("page2.htm");
close();
