U can't disable it, so your solution depend son what your trying to achieve. If you want to make sure a page does not execute again when clicking back, then you have several options.
1) create an interim page that simply redirects the user after the action is complete. So clicking back will do nothing more than a redirect. 2) use generated codes that can only be used once and then expire. On your action page, check the code, if it has not been used, perform the action and expire the code. If the code has expired, do not perform the action and display an error message like "you cannot refresh this page. 3) when dealing with javascript type issues where the page needs to be reloaded and not use the cached one that you normally get when clicking back, you can expire the page immeditaely. 4) you can remove items from the history using javascript And no doubt some more.

If it's used, the app behaves like a disco dance floor. What do folks do here to disable the back button? I write apps that do not break when the back button is used, because there is no 100% proof way of disabling it. If the use of this application is very narrowly defined, and your friend can control who these users are, what browser they use, and what setting those browsers are configured with; there are some ways to prevent some types of back button behavior. Note the long list of ifs in that statement, but if you can live with the "ifs", Google can provide many ways to do this. Just remember, users like me will get around it with little or know effort if I wanted to. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
