How to clear browser's back-button sites?

[arsmakman]

Hello,

I want to clear the history of a browser thru an html page, so people cannot use the back button any more as long as they're on my site.

I don't care in what language it is (html, perl, php, javascript, whatever) as long as it works for all browsers :)

Thanx a lot

And you would want to break the functionality of their browser because...?
The Back button is an integral part of the navigation model of the web. Disabling it to force people to stay on your site is a surefire way to get people to never come back. It also suggests your content isn't good enough to make them want to stay on their own.

And in answer to your question, no there won't be a solution that will work for all browsers. The thing about the internet is that it's a client/server environment. You cannot, from the server, dictate how the client interprets and renders/displays/outputs what you send to it.

edit: typo

For your links use the location.replace() method
this replaces the current document with a new one without
creating a new entry in the browser's session history
