How To Make browser back button Disable

[Vamsi]

hi,
i had some asp pages, passing through these pages i came to my logout screen where in the user should not go back through the back button of the browser to the previous page.so i want to disable the browser back button when the user comes to logout screen.
so is it possible?

i don't think you can. the closest you can come is by disabling right clicks and opening a window without the tool and menu bars.

but, you could still use alt backspace, or whatever the combination is to do that. adam@aauser.com

I had a problem like this with people trying to go back to a form after a submit. What I did was put the results of the submit(saying it was succesful) in a popup then returning then back to the begining of the form.

If you've got a form problem - ie don't want people to go back after a submit or something, use Javascript to point the returning page after the submit to another page using the javascript 'location=wherever.html'. It doesn't stop the user crawling right back through the history list, but it does mean that if he clicks the back button once he'll only hit a page that forwards him back to where he was. I think that's about all you can do.
