page is garbage

[PGMR1998]

this code opens 2 ms word docs into a single browser window. the 2nd document shows first and looks ok, but when i cick the back button on the browser to see the first document, it looks like garbage. anyone no why?

<!--
function submitforms()
{
var d1 = &quot;Test1.doc&quot;;
var d2 = &quot;Test2.doc&quot;;
myWindow = window.open(d1);
myWindow.location=&quot;

http://intranet/Test2.doc&quot;;

}
// -->
</script>

My guess would be because loading the second page caused the first one to stop downloading before it was finished. Try using a loop to check if myWindow is complete before loading the second page.

By garbage what do you mean?

I ran your code as is, with one exception, and it worked fine! I opened a document on my home computer, and a second document from an &quot;Internet&quot; site. The back and forward options worked each time. The lone exception is that I am not on an &quot;Intranet.&quot;

The problem may be that the first document is not &quot;Intranet&quot; compatible. I believe that an Intranet system converts documents into a &quot;readable format&quot; from a variety of formats. So the problem may be the version of MS Word of the first document.
