Back (history.back() ) after refresh

Hi ...

I have a webpage popup (lets call it POPUP) which refreshes the opener
window (this one we call PARENT) when we close it, saying we want to
save data.

For this, we use

top.oWndOpener. refresh();

When we don't want to save the POPUP data, we just close the popup and
don't refresh the PARENT.

In the PARENT we have a "Back" link which executes a simple

history.back()

The problem is:
If we refresh parent, we need to go back 2 pages, because the refresh
method adds another page to the history. But we have no (easy) way of
knowing in the PARENT if it had been refreshed. With this, our users
are forced to click two times in the Back link.

Is there anyway of going back to the previous page, no matter how many
refreshes happened in the current one ?

Thanks!!!!!

Yeah, don't use refresh, use either reload or replace.

Can someone show me how I can have: <a href="javascript:history.back()" name="Back" value="Back" style=width:40px;float:right;margin-left:0px class="button" >Back</a> but since this href exists in a frame, it only pertains to this frame? Thanks, Ike

To display some dynamic content, I move from page A to page B. Once page B is loaded completely, it uses a "history.back()" to go back to page A. When now page A is displayed, I need page A to refresh. I have tried many different things, but nothing so far has done the trick. Any help very much appreciated!
