    Assuming that you are setting window.location.href in your self-test
script, use window.location.replace() instead, e.g.:

<script language="javascript1.1">
  <!--
    // this replaces the current page in the browser's history
    // with the new page
    if (window.self == window.top) {
      window.location.replace("frameset.asp?pg=thispage") ;
    }
  // -->
</script>
<script language="javascript">
  <!--
    // in case we're dealing with a first-generation
    // javascript-enabled browser, which doesn't
    // understand the replace() method
    if (window.self == window.top) {
      window.location.href = "frameset.asp?pg=thispage" ;
    }
  // -->
</script>
