Although I do not know of a way to disable the back button on a browser,
there are two other methods that I know of to prevent the user from
submitting information again. The can be used separately or in conjunction.
1. Use the javascript onsubmit() function for your form so that a javascript
alert window pops up telling the user that the form has been submitted and
processing may take several minutes.
2. Use the javascript onsubmit() function to change the appearance of the
submit button to say "Processing order..." or something similar.
Good luck, unfortunately, I cannot give you the details of the javascript,
but this should point you in an alternative direction.
