"Caution: There is no true way of completely diabling the back button"

With the short answer out of the way, here's some _javascript_ that will make it harder for folks to move backwards on your page.

Step one: Open the first page of the application in a new window. Use this script as an example of preventing the back button from appearing in the window

<script language="_javascript_"><!--
msgWindow=window.open('myPage.html','MyWindow','toolbar=no');
//--></script>

Step two: Disable the right clicker using this script from Dynamic Drive. Please note that it only works in IE consistantly

<script language=_javascript_>

function clickIE4(){
if (event.button==2){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}

function clickNS4(e){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}

if (document.layers){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.> }
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
document.> }

document. Function("alert(message);return false")

// -->
</script>
