Hi, is there a possibility to clean up the url listed in window.history using javascript. I use the IE browser in my development environment.

TIA

What do you mean by "clean up"? There is no way to access the contents of the history object, unless you want to go() to them or go back() or forward() or reload().

What I meant by cleanup is that, as and when I navigate to other pages from the currently opened window, I don't want the references in the History object to be present.

In other words, the back button on the browser should not have any URLs listed.

What I was pondering upon was not to disable the Back button on the browser toolbar, instead just clear up the url's listed in the history object.

I've understood from your comments, that using History object I can navigate forward/ backwards, but can't access the contents in it.

Is there any other workaround.

TIA

You would have to use the location.replace(Url) for all navigation throughout the site.

With location.replace() you will get a new opened browser that is out of the member of the previous stack/history. You need to know that every browser uses stack method to set histories on the browser. Remember not to use location.href() !!

With love, Randhy.

No, you will replace the current page without adding to the history.
