Diable Explorer Button or Purge History List

A user logs into a web site. He is then redirected to a web page of his choosing - based on menu options - for example: "WeeklyReport.a spx" is a page the user is currently viewing

If the user session times out, I redirect the user to a "logoff.asp x" web page that now informs the user he must relogin to the web site

Question: Is there anyway to clear the browser's history list (prior to Response.Redire ct("logoff.aspx ") - to ensure the user can't depress the "back" button to return to the page where the timeout occurred

If this is not possible - what if after I detect the session timeout - Is it then possible to close the current browser where the timeout occurred - and open a new browser with "logoff.asp x" information - How would I do this

I hope not. I'd *hate* to lose my history to a malicious, virus-like web
site.

No Virus Web Site - but I want to prevent unauthorized access if someone leaves area

Basically - need to ensure user must relogin to web site - once timeout occured. Is there anyway to disable the back button then - until the user relogs in a web site / & then I can reenable it?

Is there a way that I can repair MS Internet Explorer? I seem to have broken it somewhere. I have been developing a .NET app. Three days ago I saw a message box in a web site that I visit saying "Syntax error; Line 14".

I looked at the source and line 85 contained a...

I am currently working on an ASP.net application. In some situation when the Back button is pressed from the browser toolbar, Internet explorer displays me a cached page from the history. In other situation the previous page is regenerated (the page_load event is called). It is the same page but in a different sequence. In Firefox it works fine!! Alain

I have an application that has over 150 pages. Within each page there are between 2 and 10 Iframes. As you can imagine the back button doesn't work very well. For the pages that are loaded within the Iframes on each page I would like to disable them from writing to the browser history. Any suggestions?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
