And besides that, I don't think there's a safe way to disable the back
button anyway.
In web development, if you rely on client side stuff, there's never a safe
way to do anything.
- disabling back button
- form field validation
- client side redirects
- javascript in general,
- applets
Not that you shouldn't use these techniques, you just have to be aware of
the limiation.
