Re: FLASH: back button in browser - oops

[Charlene Reese]

i tried it and it didn't work.

selecting the back button still sends the person to the page they were on

again.


What am I missing?


<script language="JavaScript"><!--

var bAgent = window.navigator.userAgent;

var bAppName = window.navigator.appName;

	if ((bAppName.indexOf("Explorer") >= 0) &&

(bAgent.indexOf("Mozilla/4") >= 0) && (bAgent.indexOf("Mac") >= 0)){

	top.location.replace('indexchoose.htm');}

// -->

		</script>


<script language="JavaScript"><!--

var ShockMode = 0;

if (navigator.mimeTypes &&

navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"] &&

navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin) {

	if (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"])

		ShockMode = 1;

}

function checkForShockwave()

{

	navigator.plugins.refresh();

	if ( navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ){

		top.location.replace('homeflash/home.htm');

	} else {

		setTimeout( "checkForShockwave()", 1000 );

	}

}


if ( ShockMode ) {

	location="homeflash/home.htm";

} else if (!(navigator.appName && navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")>=0

&& navigator.appVersion.indexOf("2.")>=0)){

	top.location.replace('newstuff/index.htm');

}

// -->

		</script>
