pages appearing in back button list

Post by netooi »

I am somewhat new to html and php..

I was wondering if there is a way with php or just straight html to keep certain pages on my website from appearing in the back button's list of previously viewed pages and the same for the forward button.

Would this have to do with caching and stuff or is it
even possible?

Thanks in advance

only idea i have is to open a new browser window everytime you click a link, and then use window.close(); after the window opens (on the original page)

what is this for anyway?

Unless there is some weird javascript that I don't know of, I don't think you can without doing what LiLpunkSkateR suggested.
