Is it possible to onclick="history.clear();"

Question

I'm going to implement logout button in my PhoneGap application, which will return the user into authentication page (with cleared fields). For the button I'm using anchor with onclick event:

<script type="text/javascript">
function doLogout() {
    var backlen = history.length;
    history.go(-backlen);
    window.location.replace("index.html");
}
</script>

<a data-role="none" href="#" onclick="doLogout"></a>

but it's not works, i.e. it's just returns me to that authentication page with already filled fileds, seems like just a one step back. I'm not sure for history.clear(), because googling it gave me nothing:

<a data-role="none" href="index.html" onclick="javascript:history.clear();"></a>

Could anyone advise me where is my problem? If there is another solution to handle logout event in PhoneGap I would follow it. THanks

I have never developed any PhoneGap, but in web applications you can use code below.

try window.location.replace(url);

after redirection there no way to go previous page.
