Hi folks,

Does anyone know how to make the page expire when press "back" button?

Any help is highly appreciated, thanks!

ASP has no association with the browser on that level (client level) you will need to run a script somehow with the means of a submission etc..

to end a session you would use
session.abandon

exactly what is it you mean by expire? session ends? _______________________________________________
_{{ str = "sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function";
ptr = /sleep/gi;Nstr = str.replace(ptr,"coffee"alert(Nstr); }}

Actually, the page does not used session and I just want to prevent the visitor press "back" button to see the content.

Basically, we have been done before but the code is missing. As I remember, it just set a few line in asp then can force the page expire by "back" button.

Any idea? Thanks!

If you just want to disable the back button then this in the page where you dont want them to go back to will cause the browser to move back to the current page.

Another option is to use a hidden page to redirect to the new page...

Page1.asp
<% response.expires = 0 %>
<a href=&quot;redir.asp&quot;>Next Page</a>

redir.asp
response.redirect &quot;page2.asp&quot;
