Back button considered harmful

SecurityFocus: Using the back button in IE is dangerous. [via Slashdot: Don't Hit That Back Button] IE allows urls containing the javascript protocoll in the history list. Code injected in the url will operate in the same zone/domain as the last url viewed. The javascript url can be set to trigger when a user presses the backbutton.
