JS don't include window.open popup in browser history

Hi, I'm not sure which forum to put this in, so I'll take my best guess.

I have an ASP.NET page where when an ASP.NET button is clicked, it (among other things) fires a one-line JavaScript to open a pop-up (separate) window that the user can do things within. This works fine. However, after the pop-up is closed, the user can go to other pages in the original web, but if they use the browser's "back" button, when the user gets to the page that called the pop-up, the pop-up appears again. How do I code the window.open to disclude the pop-up from the browser history?

Here's the window.open command as it is:

Response.Write("<script>window.open ('" & sEPayURL & "','_blank','width=800,height=600,menubar,resizable,scrollbars,toolbar');</script>")

I'm kind of a newby at web development, so if I'm way off base, please let me know.



Thanks,
Craig
