I searched high and low for a code which will allow me to get a fresh copy of my page even if the user presses the back or the ofrward button. Finally i gave up and wrote my own.
Expires and no-cache do not cache the page but it will still go into the history and can be retreived by the back button without going to the server
It needs IE5 or above to run

I had been spending days trying to accomplish this. Thanks, it is great. But I noticed one little problem: It needs a little adjustment when you use it on a frameset page. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Retried cutting and pasting code from <%@ Language=VBScript %> to %>
Called it backforward.asp still does not work, anybody any ideas. I'm running IE6 on XP Pro. Thanks (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Very useful code.
But, I could not use it. Can you send me with an example.
Thanks.

It seems that the problem is getting the onsave event to fire in IE6 w/ the 'savehistory' behavior... Does anyone have an update for this code that works effectively w/ IE6?
