I'd have to agree with Casey on this one. If you've ever seen the average user surfing the net, then you'd know that almost all of them use the back button to get out of where they are. If you take away that functionality then you're asking for trouble or unhappy users.

You don't period! User should always be able to use the back button. If they can't, it's bad usability and you should be shot as a developer. :-) -- Casey Dougall Web Applications Developer Ph: 518 743-9424 Fax: 743-0337 Mannix Marketing Inc. 33 Park St. Third Floor, Glens Falls, New York 12801 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wWw.TerrainAssassin.cOm - Nov1 2006 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:255078 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
