html - In Javascript, how do I "clear" the back (history -1)?

Question

When the user loads the page, I immediately do a window redirect to another location.

The problem is, when the user clicks back, it'll go back to the page which does the redirect.

Can I "cancel" the history of the previous page? So that when the user clicks back, it goes back TWO pages instead?

Answer 1

Instead of using window.location = url; to redirect,

try:

window.location.replace(url);

after using replace() the current page will not be saved in session history, meaning the user won't be able to use the Back button to navigate to it.
