Hi,
you have to make the previous screen as non-cacheable. This means that all
the pages
that have a link to the logout page have to be marked. The ways of doing
this have
been discussed many times in this list. To save time and bandwidth you can
just search
in the archives for keywords like "cache", "back button".

The best is to ask the use to close the browser if the information is very
sensitive.
This is the approach taken by hotmail, yahoo etc. There are still many ppl
who think
by clicking logout, no one can go back and see the previous screens in yahoo
and other
email providers.

Thanks
Nagaraj.

Hi,
        When a user logs out, I need to prevent him/her from viewing the
previous screen when the back button is clicked. Does anyone know how it is
done?

Thank You
T R Yogeeta
