back button problem

coding for adword links

[canadaeh]

Have any of you doing adword advertising run up against the back button problem? Our server processes the incoming ref tag on our Google adword ad, and does an automatic redirect to another page. The problem is, the redirect disables the back button and the user can't go back to Google. Google demands that the user be able to go back using one click of the browser back button. If someone knows of some code that would help with this situation, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

So why disable the back button in the first place?

[canadaeh]

Since the adword has a ref tag in the url, the server is handling a dynamic page request.

It is disabled because the page which the server creates has an automatic redirect in it. The server records the ref tag number then serves up a new page for the visitor. This is apparently how the server handles requests for dynamic content. When the user clicks the back button they get sent automatically right back to the page that newly created page. So unless the user clicks the button frantically or uses the drop down feature of the back button, the browser just repeats the same action over again.
