[Javascript] 1 MORE Question: Navigation Control - No back button?

[Z. Franco]

Ok, it looks like assigning a session variable upon dumping data into db is
the way to go, and have done all that -- only problem is I need to get the
form page to refresh everytime someone accesses it so that it looks to see
if the session has been established.

Sorry this is such a dumb question, but do you do this in HTML or in Java or
VBS or what?  Basically all I want is something in the header giving the
command to refresh on entry every time the page is visited.

Thanks!!

Zeno

Yes, this is the users initial visit, and so there is no account info set
up -- so it's not really a logout page as such.  Sorry I wasn't clear.

Is your problem really that you are not truly "logging out" users? Normally,
once logged out users cannot write or "mess up" the database. This question
would probably be better answered in a server-side list like the one at
http://www.15seconds.com/listserv.htm .

If this is the case, then preventing the back button is the wrong (and much,
much harder) cure for your ailment...
