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

http://www.magicwebsolutions.co.uk/Back-and-Refresh-Buttons.htm

or

place this at the top section of the BODY of the pages that you do not want 
users clicking back TO:

                        <script language="JavaScript"><!--
                                javascript:window.history.forward(1);
                                //--></script>

You should be able to disable the right click using dhtml or JavaScript.  Scan 
in google for: HTML right click.

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

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

Rob Dixon
