Subject: history object

You were right (page 165) the History mechanism IS driving me crazy. 
However it would be a big help if it worked properly.

I'm using IE5. Ihave three asp files and want to go back to the last 
occurrence of a particular page. This, working locally, is my code:

<input type="button" value="Return to Search" 
onClick="history.go('http://laptop/htmlasp/PenLibSchRq.asp')">
 
I thought it was working but, on further testing, discovered that I was 
being returned to the first, not last, occurrence of the particular page.
 
You can see the application via www.baileysolutions.co.uk/penlib   
 
Is there a known problem with IE5 and the history object.


thanks
