[WEB4LIB] browser back button

[Jerry Kuntz]

Most likely a Javascript redirect with a 0-second delay. I was enlightened
here a couple on months ago by friendly web4libbers. What an annoying
practice! Either link directly to the page you're being directed to, or
complain to the webmaster about that practice. I complained to Brainium:
http://www.brainium.com/
and they removed the offending script.

> I know this discussion has come up before but I am asking about those
certain web pages that do not allow you to use the browsers back button -
when you click on the back button - the same page returns.  (I am not
talking about another open window.)  I believe it is something in the code
that sets this feature up - but what is it?
