location.replace doesn't seem to work
Hi Vidar, Thanks for your reply.
If I understand your code correctly, it looks for a password and shows it to
the user. The problem I'm having is that after the user sees this page once
I do not want it to appear again when he clicks the back button after the
user clicks either on the button on the page or on a back button in the
browser. The Javascript Bible indicated that the way to do this was to use
the location.replace command this would replace the current Url in the
history list on the client side with the url defined in the location.replace
command line, then this page would no longer show up when using back or
forward buttons.
Debugging the application, it looks like the function doReplace does not get
executed when the user either clicks on a back button in the page or on my
submit button. It looks like te onUnload event does not get triggered.
