Preventing doc.write() on history.back

Hello all,

I am trying to change a line of text when a user uses the back button to return to a page what I have at the moment is this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<script>

if(window.location == window.location){

    document.write( "<h1>Hello There</h1>" );

}
 
else if(window.history.back(-1) == window.location){

     document.write("<h1>welcome back</h1>");

}         

</script>

</head>

<body>

    <p><a href="index.html" >Forward</a></p>

</body>

</html>

It will write to the page but when I click the Forward link and then the browser back button I am still getting the first document.write() called.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

of course, cuz your testing if the address bar equals the address bar, its going to be true. what you would want to try using for something like this are cookies.
