This was a problem to do with caching...because the window.open had '_top'
in the statement it opens it in the current window instead of opening a new
one. Although I was putting the expires tag in, it was writing the
history.back in the Page_load event so it was going back a page before it
wrote the <meta> tag into the page. Just had to make sure I wrote that
first.
Thanks for the help
