Hi,

does anybody know if it's possible to disable the backbutton or at least intercept it in Internet Explorer. How can I do that?

Many Thx

You can't do anything with the back button as it's featyre of the IE Application, but as long as JavaScript is enabled you can use JavaScript to clear/control the IE current context history I believe.

You can just put the following bit of javascript on every page to effectively disable the back button:

history.go(1);

link9 is correct...

I use
history.go(1); on each page that I don't want people to be able to go back....

Just put it in the onload event of the body tag.

e.g.
Code: 
<body onload="javascript:history.go(1)">
