While there is no way to fully disable the back button the following code will get you close. You place this code on the page that you don't want them to be able to back up to (if user is on 'page A' and then goes to 'page B' and you do no want them to be able to use the back button to get to 'page A', place this code at the top of 'Page A'

<script language="JavaScript"></script>

</body>
</html>

bbb.html :

Code:

<html>
<body onLoad="javascript:window.history.forward(1);">

</body>
</html>
