here's a problem.

i'm using a javascript type back button:

<a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)>

to simplify coding on a large site where pages might be linked to from a
variety of pages.

i also use a base href to make coding simpler for the people maintaining
the site, which is a directory inside of a larger site.

the kicker is that netscape hi-jacks the link and takes the user back to
the homepage (the "#" is interpreted as the base href instead of the
current page.


anything I can do about this?
