Skip current page when using back button

I have a web page which all it does is redirect a user to a different
page (the page to redirect to is based on a database lookup). I want
to make it so that when a user tries to use the back button, they don't
rehit the redirect page. Is this possible? I know Response.Redire ct
won't do it, I tried Server.Transfer but received errors. Any ideas?

Give the good old JavaScript a try:

<input type="button" onclick="histor y.go(-2);" value="Go back">

And if you want tot tackle the browser's back button: set a session
variable in the redirect page so you know that the next time (the even
times) the user comes there you redirect to another url.

I've been to websites where if I navigate off a form, trying to get back to it by hitting the back button gives me a page which says "Warning, page has expired". It doesn't display the page. I've been searching around trying to get this to happen for one of my aspx pages and I can't get it to expire. I've put the following HTML tags in the page: <meta http-equiv="expires" content="Sun, Dec 31 1970 12:00:00 GMT"> <meta...

Suppose you have one domain, filled with a couple of users. What needs to be done now is I need to start a windows application from a webform by pressing a button on the webform (for example). The problem is that the user who "owns" the service is always the ASPNET account. That's not good since you don't see the actual application (because it's owned by ASPNET). I've tried changed the processmodel section in the machine.config file to...

I have created a very simple example that doesn't work. Form1 contains a textbox and a button: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Response.Redirect("login.aspx") End Sub Very simple. Forget what login.aspx does, it's just somewhere to redirect to.

Hi, Is there a way to update the same web page instead of getting a new page each time we click the submit button? The simplest thing to do is to delete the current page (or go back to the previous page) and then redraw the page. There are a few possible solutions: 1. Use the same URL again. But a new page will still be created. 2. Use the "onsubmit" option:
