Hi,

        Just a small problem I'm trying to solve and I know there must be
a quick hack for sorting it out.  This is the scenario:

Standard pages consist of a header frame and a content frame. (see
http://www.eeng.dcu.ie ).  The problem with frames is trying to preserve
user control etc. and I want to allow people to type urls for anywhere
in the site.  So to do this I allow people to say call 
http://www.eeng.dcu.ie/staff/technical.html  - it loads the page and
onload it checks if (self==top) and if it is then it calls a servlet
which writes out the frames code and essentially forces the header on
this page (which I want there on all pages within the site).  The
servlet is called in this case using: 
http://oak.eeng.dcu.ie/admins/eepage?url=/staff/technical.html

Everything is dandy and I'm patting my own back when I find out that
if you try to go back (as some people seem to like to) using the
browser back button or a history.back() it goes back to the page,
which on load calls the servlet again and again and again everytime I
click back.  Can anyone think of a quickie way around this?  I've
been messing with referrer and history but to no avail.  Thanks...

David Molloy
