When you open a document in an existing window, you have to ask yourself whether you want to create a new entry in that window's browsing history or replace its current one. You control this via the boolean variable bReplace:

window.open(sURL, sName, [bReplace]);

The bReplace parameter is only supported by Internet Explorer 4 and later. This parameter is useful only when the second argument names an already-existing window. It is a Boolean value that specifies whether the URL specified as the first argument should replace the current entry in the window's browsing history (true) or create a new entry in the window's browsing history (false), which is the default behavior.
