Disable brower Back button

[Waldy]

Hi there,
is it possible to disable the browser back button, or trap
the event and stop it?

No. It's likely best to solve the initial problem.

For example, if this is to prevent coming back to a past page, it's likely
best to avoid putting the page in the history or to handle coming back to
this page (the user could also put the page in its favorites and so own).

What is the exact problem ?

No.
One way that can work in some situations is to open a new window. This new
window will have no history, therefore the back button will be disabled.

I put a history.forward() script command at the top of the pages which I
don't want users going back to. That seems to work OK.
