disable the browser back button

[zubz]

Hi,

is there a way to disable the browsers back button. I need to do this after a form has been sumitted to prevent the user going back and submitt again?

Thanks

There is no 100% perfectly systematic way to do this. You could hack up your own version using session variables and passing a timestamp to each page, checking to ensure that the timestamp is always current. You'd also have to disable page caching - which puts more strain on your server from having to reload every page every single time.


You're really just MUCH better off doing server side validation to ensure that the form data is not being resubmitted.
