Remove TempData value when press Back in browser asp.net mvc 3

Question

I have a little issue with MVC application.

I have an action which save information in database like:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save()
{
   // do something to save
   // save message in TempData
   TempData["Message"] = "Message";

   return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

I show an alert message which shows if an item was saved or not. I'm doing in two steps.

1. in Site.Master

   <div id="message"><%=(TempData["Message"] as string)%></div>
   

2. in javascript

   if($("#message").text().length)
   {  
      alert $("#message").text(); 
   }
   

After saving item, I will be redirected to Index page and will display the alert box. That's fine.

The problem is the following: If I save item and redirected to Index and after that I press backspace key or click on Back button of browser, the alert still is shown.

What have I to do to destroy TempData value when going back using either backspace key or Back button of browser ? I don't want to display alert anymore in this case.

Thanks
