How to access browsers history from my page?

Feb 11.2007

Hello, I need to know how you access a browsers history. I am trying to stop my iframes on my page from being added to the history. Or to add something to the history so it reads it instead of the iframes.

I can figure out how to get help with different parts of the code that will help with this. I just need something to get me started. What javascript variables tap into the browsers history from a web page? Please let me know, thank you very much.

@RiannaauthorFeb 11.2007 — I was told some of these can.

I probably don't need to change it, I could just load something into it so it chooses my last web page, instead of the iframe page when someone hits the back key.

window.location=('#http');

window.location.hash = "http";

window.location.href = newURL;

window.name

window.location.hash = summary;

dhtmlHistory.initialize();

dhtmlHistory.addListener(historyChange);

function historyChange(newLocation, historyData)

back() Loads the previous URL in the history list. Programmatic equivalent to the user pressing the browser's 'back' button.

forward() Loads the next URL in the history list. Programmatic equivalent to the user pressing the browser's 'forward' button.

go() Loads a specific page in the history list

addHistoryListener(HistoryListener) Adds a listener to be informed of changes to the browser's history stack.

getToken() Gets the current history token.

newItem(String) Adds a new browser history entry.

onHistoryChanged(String)

removeHistoryListener(HistoryListener) Removes a history listener.

Perhaps I could just add a message so that when the back button is touched

a message appears, saying something like "the back button won't work, to get to the last page go this address http:// etc......

I was told there is a way to access these functions and other web sites do it. Whoever knows, please get back to me, thank you very much.

@RiannaauthorFeb 14.2007 — I can use my own back button then. Anyone know how I can keep the browsers back button from working? So I can use my own instead? Thank you very much.

@slaughtersFeb 14.2007 — ... I am trying to stop my iframes on my page from being added to the history. ...[/QUOTE]Use location.replace when navigating away from the page in question.

It Replaces the current document by loading another document at the specified URL.

When a document is replaced, it is also removed from the history object. Moreover, the user interface navigation methods, such as the Back and Forward buttons, will no longer access the URL.

@RiannaauthorFeb 14.2007 — Great tips you guys, thanks a lot. I thought the cache and the history were sort of related but two different storage locations. Are they one and the same? Thanks.

Success!
