[Javascript] Control the window

Thanks mate, this works fine. However, it might not be the prettiest
solution :) I will use that temporary, thanks for you insight!

Peter,

I use the following line in each of my pages -- seems to work cross-browser
(IE6/Netcape/Firefox) and is exactly what the client wanted (not that I like
it myself!).

window.history.forward(1);

It allows the back and immediately sets the visible page to the next one in
history. Great thing is even if they select the drop-down next to back and
go back 10 pages -- you see a slight flicker (on older (like mine) machines)
as it flips through to the current page.
