Odd History Problem with OAE

413063May 26 2006 — edited May 29 2006
We need to prevent uses from using the browser's back button to return to a secure page, after they have logged out. To do this, we tried putting:

onLoad="if(history.length>0)history.go(+1)"

in the "Page HTML Body Attribute".

If we leave OAE and go to some external site, e.g. www.yahoo.com, the code works just fine, i.e. it will not allow you to go back but, instead, keeps returning you to Yahoo when you try to return to the page using the back button.

However, if you are still within OAE, even if you've clicked the logout link, the code does not prevent you from returning to the page using the back button.

Anyone have any idea why this would be? Is there another way to prevent the user from using back once they've logged out?
