    Back button on the browser problem

    Hi
    In my application I have a wizard and I have to make sure that user can't
    come back to previous page of the wizard. The problem is that is user clicks
    on "Back" button of the brouser he returns to previous page. How can I
    restrict this behavior - let's say showing him - "This page expired" or just
    sending him to totally different page.
    Thanks, Shimon.

      Also you could try placing the js history.forward (1) in the pages, people
      shouldnt come back to. This js effectively disables the back button.

          Hi Shimon,

          This is a FAQ for script programming. The general idea is that we couldn't
          do it on server side. For client side, we cannot totally remove the ability
          for the user to go back to the previous location, although we can make it
          harder.

          Please refer to http://developer.irt.org/script/311.htm for some methods to
          do so.

          Hope this helps.

          Regards,
          HuangTM

              Thanks, to everybody how answered me.
              The functionality I am looking for is something that is similar to
              Excite.com functionality.
              The home page has to be updated from the server. If I am going to one of
              the topics and then click on "Back" button the request is sent to the server
              and browser doesn't show me cashed page. I find it very nice (and very
              useful for my application).
              Thanks for answers.
              Simon.
