And after using the back-button once, the last page was the 'next'. The HTTP_REFERER isn't some kind of history-list. If you realy want to go Back, why not use: JS: history.back(...); That way you really use the history-list of the browser. So after using it once, it's still a Back-button instead of a Forward-button. Besides that, using the $HTTP_REFERER isn't really something to rely on. $HTTP_REFERER doesn't always have to be set. In that case you can't go either Back nor Forward. -- * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- H: +31 23 5516190 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- ««««««««««««««««««««««««
