Back button in IE

[florida41]

Anyway I can make my Browser go back to a previous page just like Netscape 7 does.

My Cold Fusion form processes data and then if I hit the back button in IE6 it says "Page Expired..." and doesnt go back to the form page. I tried many variations of the history.back() functions:
history.back()
history.go(-1)
history.back(-1)

It still doesnt take me back to the form page. The Netscape 7 Browser Button works all the time with the Action/Result page where I submit a form and it takes me to the action page then if I hit the Netscape 7 Browser Back button it takes me back to the form.

How can I do the same with IE6???

perhaps try

location.href = document.referrer;

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); } finally { rtfm(); }

i dont think even that will jeff, the "Page-expired" thing is IE controlled, not code controlled...

Thanks I want to try the location.href = document.referrer;

Please advise how I would implement this?
I tried this and it didnt work:
<a href="location.href = document.referrer;">Back</a>

<a href="javascript:location.href = document.referrer;">Back</a>
