    JavaScript: Clearing the history?

    Hi everyone,

    Is it possible to clear the history using JavaScript or at least clear the back history so that the back button won't go back?

    I know about the history.back function i wondered if there was an equivilent history.clear function.

    It's not nice to hijack someone's browser like that. Why would you want to do that?

    Its not for a normal website. It is for a browser based library OPAC system. It needs to clear the history to stop people viewing other peoples details.
