There is no way I know to ensure that the user can't go back. Toolbar=no can be bypassed with ctrl-n to open a new window with a toolbar. And someone here had some software that prevents disabling right click. It also disables popup windows. So the only way to ensure a user doesn't mess up with the back button is to allow it and build for it. just my $.02 Dave Shelley -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-witango-talk@;witango.com]On Behalf Of Atrix Wolfe Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 6:03 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Closing a browser window without user clicking thats a good idea, we too have that problem with the back button. ::shakes fist at the back button:: hehe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Johansen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of list witango-talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 2:50 PM Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Closing a browser window without user clicking > Actually, I do this all the time.
