Errmm..is there anyway to put that code to remove the toolbar and stuff at the top of every page?
So that when the page loads, it will remove the toolbar if it's there? :) Because this will work if they need to click a link to get to another window. But what if they can just enter a URL or something like that. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Todd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 1:28 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Disable Back Button in Browser. I had that problem with an online test application that I just built. I ended up "disabling" keyboard presses, disabling all mouse buttons except for the left one, and opening the test in a new window without the tool bar at the top (so no back button). Of course, there are ways to get around this stuff, but 90% of the people out there don't know about them. In your case, if you did something like that, they would use your navigation thing because it would be easier than trying to find a way around all the other stuff you put in. :) JavaScript to disable mouse buttons and make annoying popups for key presses (if you care about them). It's a modified script that I got from the tag gallery, but I forgot which one, so I can't give proper credit, heh. function secure() { alert("All keyboard commands have been disabled for the duration of this test."); nextPage = new String(history.forward()); if (nextPage == "undefined") { // Do nothing } else { location.href = history.forward(); } } // This group of functions disable the right mouse button. var message="All non-essential mouse buttons have been disabled for the duration of this test."; function click(e) { if (document.all) { if (event.button != 1) { alert(message); return false; } } if (document.layers) { if (e.which != 1) { alert(message); return false; } } } if (document.layers) { document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN); } document.onmousedown=click; Here is the code that gets rid of the tool bar and makes the browser go full screen .. among other things. You will have to modify it, I'm sure. function newWindow(varOTID) { varNewOTID = "./index.cfm/scd/preparetest/cid/" + varOTID + ".htm"; window.open(varNewOTID,null,"directories=no,fullscreen=yes,location=no,m enub ar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no"); } oh .. and put this in the <body> tag if you want to disable those key presses onkeydown="secure();" If you have any questions, let me know :) Todd ----- Original Message ----- From: "gel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 9:52 AM Subject: Disable Back Button in Browser. > *sigh* > You know..you write an application, and take your time to check what > stage the user is at and all that good stuff. > > And then the users mess it all up by clicking the BACK button on the browser > instead of using your nice navigation bar and stuff.
