David,

Thank you for your reply. I think I understand what you are saying
and as my Back Button History in Firefox is generating two entries, it
seems to explain it exactly. The first entry must be the empty frame,
which in Opera does return an empty frame and the second one which
never gets accessed by using the back button, is my original site.

I have emailed my problem to my ISP and await their comments.

Your comment made me smile, as someone who suffers from an overload of
good advice.

Thank You

Richard

On further investigation, I used another ISP's web forwarding, which
only had one frame present and the same thing happened. Could it be
that the linked page is the problem, as it is creating the two entries
in the Back Button History.

Different web address www.mclportal.com

Thanks
