Go around to the user's computer, open their browser and clear their cache.



Cheers

Ken

How on earth does something that runs entirely on the server do something to

my browser?!? Think about how ridiculous this sounds...

Why should *you* be able to tamper with *my* browser? How would you like it

if I changed *your* browser settings without asking you? The history is

stored as part of the file system on my hard drive. Removing items from it

means you can delete files from my hard disk without my permission...



You are asking for something that can not be done, hence my earlier answer:

"go to the user's computer and open their browser and delete their history"



Note, you can use location.replace() to change an item in the history list -

but you can't delete an entry from the history list.



Cheers

Ken
