[WEB4LIB] Re: back button

[GRAY, PAUL]

Ditto to Mr. D -
Not too long ago there was a lengthy thread regarding some pages that did
something similar to what you request.
They had a redirect script such that when you when you hit 'back' and got to
that page - you were  redirected to the page you just came from --
effectively locking you in a loop at their site unless you knew to jump back
two pages.
Consensus as I recall was that this was a  REALLY TACKY thing to do.
