goto previous page and refresh - both in one

I need a button, on click you can go previous page (like histry.go(-1))
and then the page is immediately refreshed.

The first page is table from database. When you click to change item,
another page is opened, when you can edit. When you finish editing and
click 'save' you go back to the first page, but this page show old
content (reload/refresh is needed).
I cannot write absolute back address in the Edit page - it can be opened
from serveral diffrent pages and must back to the previous.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

There are problems inherent with going back and trying to refresh.
Too many to list here so early in the morning. :)

I got around this problem by having a cookie set that held the URL of
the page the person was on. I conditionally write the cookie depending
on the page, so for some it is written and some it is not. When it is
not written, the last page visited is in that cookie, so when I want to
do a "back" sort of thing (this is also a DB application), I look at
that cookie and send the user to that page along with any URL params
that were present.

So...
The first page is table from database.
Write the cookie here.
When you click to change item,
another page is opened, when you can edit. When you finish editing and
click 'save' you go back to the first page,


Check the cookie here and forward to the page instead of going back,
which will load the fresh content. Convoluted, but it works.

I'm having an issue with the "Refresh" of an asp.net page. The refresh is actually calling my last onClick event. I thought that asp.net was supposed to be stateless in that it shouldn't remember that I clicked a button before the refresh. Here is what is going on: 1) Page Loads 2) User enters some values, clicks the "Save" button 3) The onClick event handler for the save button saves the data to the database and the page is...
