Please let me know how to disable back button in Browser

hi ...

you cannot do that ... and it would be very annoying, because that button has its purpose ... but you may use the onbeforeunload-event of the current document to call some javascript that you want to have performed when leaving the page ...

kind regards

disable back button in Browser....

Pls try this code inside Javascript function

[CODE=javascript]document.onkeyd own = BackBtnCancel;
function BackBtnCancel()
{
var e = event.srcElemen t.tagName;

if(event.keyCod e == 8 && e != "INPUT" && e != "TEXTAREA" )
{
event.cancelBub ble = true;
event.returnVal ue = false;
}
}[/CODE]

It really works....

i assume this disables the key event ... but not the back-button in the toolbar?

deepakunny's function disables the backspace key, not the browser back button, and it will throw an error if the browser is not IE.

yep ... this has to be adapted for cross-browser-capability and doesn't solve the original problem ... but it would help to avoid an accidently 'back - action' ...

one more solution you can hav is to keep the inter-blank page and redirect as it loads this page..
