Browser history problems

I am working on an ASP.NET application that seems to be limiting browser
histories to only one entry. I am not using SmartNavigation on any of the
pages, and that is the only thing that I have seen in the documentation that
says it limits the browser history. The pages in the application are in a
single IIS folder, which is set up as an application and is NT password
protected and SSL encrypted, and has the HTTP headers set to expire the
pages quickly. I have turned off the page expiration to no avail, nor can I
find any settings on the VS project, ASPX pages, or IIS folder that have any
effect on this.

I am wondering if anyone knows what else might cause a single entry browser
list, and for that matter what else (if anything) would control or limit
browser histories through ASP.NET?

How about one page doing all the work? That would certainly limit the
browser history.

Hi Scott,

Generally serverside code or any http header won't be able to manipulate
the clientside browser behaviors. Most of them are done through clientside
scripts.(the smartNavigation is also done through some script and a
internal iframe...). As far as I know, we can also avoid additional
history entry when redirecting page by using the window.location.replace
script function.

Thanks,
