redirect on back button

[kss444]

Hi all,

I need to redirect our users to our login page if they click on the back button.
I am not sure how to code this, I need it to work in IE and FF.

I was using:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
//used to prevent user from using the back button

javascript: window.history.forward(1);
//-->
</script>
But they want the user to go back to the login page.
Thanks,
kss

Hi

There is no way to detect that.

By the way, the BAck toolbar button is only one possibility to trigger the navigate back functionality. There are also the History menu's Back command, the context menu's Back command and the Alt-Left arrow key. And the extensions can add their own ways, for example with FireGestures you can map the back functionality to various drag gestures, wheel gestures and rocker gestures.

Better tell us why would you want to do that.

Have to. Managers want it, the end users want it and the code specs ask for it.
