Disable back button

[abhishekbrave]

Is it possible to disable back button of a browser in java script.

Any pointers will be very helpful so that I can do some workaround on the same

This is a common question and the answer is that you can't reliably disable the back button. There's no need to either. The first question to ask yourself is why you want to do it. If the page is being cached after logout, prevent page caching. If unsaved data is being lost, use onbeforeunload to ask the user if they're sure they want to leave the page.

That has been asked here several times. See this thread and this one.

Edit: Too slow.

Ha, no fuss. Those links should provide more information/links. Also goes to show what a quick search can give you.
