In Javascript, how do I “clear” the back (history -1)?

Question

When the user loads the page, I immediately do a window redirect to another location.

The problem is, when the user clicks back, it\'ll go back to the page which doe

Answer 1

You can use location.replace to replace the current location entry (the redirect page) with the new one (the target). That requires that you do the redirection via JavaScript rather than with meta tags or a 302. E.g.:

// In the redirecting page
location.replace("path/to/target/page");
