disable browser back button

Question

how to disable browser back button that works for all major browsers: IE/FF/ Chrome/Opera/Safari.

Answer 1

It is not possible to disable the browser back button. There are couple of work arounds:

1. Open your website in a window without the toolbar so back button is not visible. But this will not enable any shortcut key (like backspace) for the back button.
2. Another work around is to use AJAX to update your DOM always so that back button is never enabled.
