Sounds like he means pages that contain code to redirect to another page ...
when on the page redirected to, hitting the back button takes you back to
the redirect page which again takes you to the page you're already on. And
so on. You have to hit the back button twice quickly, or use the dropdown
list to select the desired page.

: By what do you mean "capture"? Do you mean you can't hit
: the back button on your browser or the big X button at
: top right doesn't work? I believe that the latter is
: caused by a script running in the webpage, what it does
: is probably use an onclose() event to trigger a
: window.open() function. I would suggest you don't try to
: implement features that restrict a person from leaving
: your website, they are unlikely to return again. I know I
: wouldn't. The problem of the back button not letting you
: go back I generally get around myself by just choose the
: arrow button and choosing a page 2 back from where I am.
