Script for URL forwarding?

I need a URL Forwarding Script that still allows a user to back out of the page. If anyone has one, it would be appreciated.

Instead of setting location.href to be equal to a new URL, you can use the javascript replace() method:

location.replace(http://www.example.com/newpage.html)

This overwrites, or replaces the current URL in the browser history with your new URL, and loads the new page as well. That means the Back Button will work as the user expects it to instead of trapping them in a circle.

Where can I find a script like this? Thanks.

put an onload into your body-tag

could look like that:

(use full URL, no relative links - Opera will cause problems with rel. links in location.replace)

hope that helps

Thanks, Jeeek, for adding the bit about using the full URL. I edited my first post so future users can get that right off the bat.
