Dear JS'rs,
I was just surfing around and decided to hit ebay from a page I was
currently looking at. After typing the URL in and the page had loaded,
I had changed my mind. Using Firefox 1.0.3, I tried to navigate
backwards with the browser arrow.
It didn't work.
I tried it a second time after closing and reloading to make sure my
mind wasn't slipping, and the same thing happened. Ebay apparently
cripples your history in a standard browser.
My question: Is this something that javascript can potentially do and,
if so, how? Bonus discussion would be: How god$%#ned annoying and/or
unethical is this practice?
Thanks,
-Christopher

<body onLoad="window. location.href=' nextpage.html'" >
Also possible with meta refresh. Hit back, load the forwarding page,
get immediately forwarded where you just came from. It might forward
you so fast you'll never see it.
Use the tiny down arrow next to the back button to access window
history and skip back two pages instead of clicking "back" to go one
page back as workaround.
Leaving connecting two such pages pointing at each other as an exercise
for -really- malicious JS'ers.
Thanks for the insight into this bit of JavaScript Loki-ness.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
