Actually, I think disabling the back button is not the way to go. This is
the safety line/panic button that keeps the user in navigable waters on the
Net, as it where - see Jacob Nielson's http://www.useit.com or his excellent
book Designing Web Usability.
Any other way of solving the problem would be better, IMO. Especially since
I like to use the back button history to jump to pages two/three/ten/+ pages
back sometimes. Also, if the user wants to go back after logging out, why
make them log back in - at least from a usability standpoint? Just curious -
maybe I'm not remembering all the previous context (it's possible, late
Thursday afternoon...)

While the back button will get them to the page, won't a refresh or
hyperlink then force them to log in again? Again, IMO disabling the back
button could frustrate users.

Subject: Preventing use of Back button
I have written a logout page that refreshes to the index.cfm which is my
login page. Is there a way of eliminating the last two pages in history to
prevent a person foredoom going back to that page with the back button?
I tried the meta info that was put up a little while ago, but that still
does not prevent the use of the back button to get back to the main page.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
