back button problem

[sundemon]

hi.
I have a site using nested frames that has a problem when users use the back button on their browsers.

an example can be found at

http://www.powderhornartfair.com/pHornTest/index.html

This site uses 3 levels of frames:
the first holds the "logo", and a sub-frame that holds:
navigation, and a sub-frame that holds:
content for a particular section.

In situations where a user reloads an entire frame, e.g. using the navigation frame, the back button works as expected.

But when the user open a link in one of the sub-pages of a frame, using the back button causes the entire parent to reload, as opposed to the single page relpaced by the link.

To demonstrate at the example site, go to "organizers" via the main navigation at left, then click one of the links in the content page at right (e.g. one of the "committee" pages). If you use the back button you'll see the problem.

Can anyone advise me how to either control or disable the behavior of the back button in situations like this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

<a href=&quot;#&quot; target=&quot;framename&quot; name=&quot;Back&quot; title=&quot;Go Back&quot; onclick=history.go(-1)>Go Back</a>

I use the following on the pages displayed in frames. This will take them back to the page previously viewed in the same frame
Hope this helps

Thanks so much Ian, I'll try it out.
I found since my first post that it was an IE specific problem.

Well it should work because I know it works with IE 6 cause thats what I've got and it worked with IE4 as I only recently upgraded.
