I do apologize that this is not a Perl question. However you guys are really helpful and knowledgeable, so here goes.

I use a script to download a PDF document onto the browser. There are links in the PDF document that go to various HTML webpages.

The problem is when I am in IE, I have to press the back button twice to get back to the PDF.

This does not happen in Firefox.

Is there a way to write a script that will enable me to get back to the PDF with only 1 press of the BACK button?

I am writing the website in PHP, however a Perl solution will be more than welcome too ;)

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Robert
