Re: Javascript - preventing use of the Browser Back Button -- WEB400

Is there a way of preventing the use of the back Button.?

Since the pages that I use are generated (not by me), I can only put JS in the <BODY> of the form. I cannot therefore use the location replace method in the previous form. Can I do something like that in the current form and if so how?

I would also like to disable the forward button and the right click drop down menus for both buttons if possible.

The best solution for me would be if I could turn the back button click into a "click" of one of my buttons but I fear that that is not possible.

I have spent some time on Google but without finding the answer.

Many thanks

i've no access to any other browser than IE where I work this month
but I think this will work:

declare a function onload:
function onload() {
cbt('E', "Enter/OK");
cbt('U', "Earlier");
}

if you have acces to the body tag add
<body onload="onload()">

else add (after the declaration of the function)
document.body.onload = onload;
if this does not work, check you did not type onLoad instead of onload
the second onload is written with no braces, because it's a function
reference, not a function call like in the first solution
