Q921 When using a simple redirect script for javascript enabled browsers, how can I stop the browser redirecting when the user presses the back button to back out of my site?

Don't create the looping feature in the first place. Instead of doing:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
location.href = 'nextpage.htm';
//--></script>
<noscript>
Your browser does not support JavaScript, or JavaScript is disabled.
</noscript>

Use:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if (document.images)
    location.replace('http://www.somewhere.com/nextpage.htm');
else
    location.href = 'nextpage.htm';
//--></script>
<noscript>
Your browser does not support JavaScript, or JavaScript is disabled.
</noscript>
