Stop User From Going Back To Being Logged In Web Browser

Hi Everyone,

I am making a web app and when a user logs out and is taken to the login page, I want to stop them from being able to go back to the previous page (the logged in page) as they just logged out and this would be a security issue? I was wondering who I could do this in JavaScript? I would like it ideally to just reload the current page they are on the first time they hit it and then if they hit it a second time go to the last page where they weren't logged in. Or if thats not possible then to do what the standard practice is?
