I want to submit a form using something like the location.replace(URL)
function so the form isn't put in the history list and won't reload when the
client hits the "back" button. If I put location.replace(URL) in the
onSubmit function, of course, it doesn't submit the form data.

Actually, I just want the current page NOT to be recorded in history.

Any way to do this in script?

Thanks!

No there isn't. The best thing for you to do is submit to a new window using
the target attribute of the FORM tag.
