location.href

[PGMR1998]

i have a function that sends me to another page. problem is that i cannot get back when i hit my back button. here is my code:

function getPDF() {
url = "00A2001";
url = "

http://intranet/legal/opinions/"

+ url + ".pdf";
document.write (&quot;<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1; url=&quot; + url + &quot;'>&quot;
location.href = url;
}

How are you calling the function?

You probably don't need the [tt]document.write (&quot;<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1; url=&quot; + url + &quot;'>&quot;[/tt] line either.

PGMR,
Dwarfthrower is right, you don't need the document.write line.

You should also get rid of the semicolon following opinions/ in the url line.

I tested the logic, it called a PDF and then returned to the originating page when the back button was clicked.

The semicolon must be the culprit.

Your code slightly modified:

function getPDF() {
url = &quot;00A2001&quot;;
url = &quot;

http://intranet/legal/opinions/&quot;

+ url + &quot;.pdf&quot;;
location.href = url;
}

PGMR,
oops! I cut and pasted and left that dang semicolon in. Dump it.

when i take out that statement, it no longer goes to the url. it just sits on the previous screen.
