Back button / Javascript History

[Shaggy1]

Hi

I have a coldfusion page which allows users to view different colours of
clothes. By clicking on a red square you get an image for the red clothing etc.
The only problem is when the user clicks the browser back button they have to
go through all their previous selections (blue, black, red, so on so
forth....). When they click the back button I want them to return to the
product index page that they originally came from. I know I could use
history() on links etc. But how can I "reprogram" the back button / browser
history to take the user back to the index page, despite the number of "other
pages" visited.

Thanks

Shaggy

Found the answer, replace the current url in history when clicking

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function go(url) {
if (document.images)
location.replace(url);
else
location.href = url;
}
//--></SCRIPT>

<A HREF="javascript:go('http://www.somewhere.com/apage.html')">Got to a
page</A>
