Hi,

How do I disable the BACK button in a browser without resorting to sending a page into a new window?

Is the a way to do this with JavaScripts? If yes, can anyone provide some code snippets?

Otherwise, can I redirect the BACK request back to the current page?

I have some database processing in a previous page that I do not want my users to repeat by clicking on the BACK button.

Thanks in advance.

there is really no way to do this in the existing window:

the only thing you can do is to manipulate Session variables but this is a pain.
