Stuck on a Web Page
Jock.
just reloads the page I'm on? I.e. I'm stuck on that page and the only way out
seems to be to exit the browser.
Awkward if you're going through a few pages of search results!

Assuming you're using IE5 or 6, the Back button has a tiny drop-down
arrow next to it. Click on that and you will see a list of the pages you
have visted in order. You can then go back to the page before the one
that reloads.

Easy when you know how eh, Chris?
Thanks very much.
I presume they set these pages up that way deliberately.

Depends on the page. Some of them forward you to another page as soon as you
open them, and when you press the back button, it takes you back to the
forwarding page.

Sounds more likely. Thanks again.
