why would you want to do that? it's impolite and will confuse the hell out of screen reader users!

I agree, bad idea. Sometimes with javascript the back button will get broken accidentally, and ur supposed to take steps to fix it. Very bad for user experience, and won't encourage people to stay on your site at all, if that is what you're aiming for.
