Dealing with the Back Button
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
A number of users have asked me how to stop the user from clicking the browser’s Back button. Typically, this causes problems for submitting form data and it would be nice if we could prevent the user from doing this. Unfortunately, there’s no completely reliable way to do this. Instead, think about designing your application to allow the user to press the back button, just like a wizard might allow. It will involve more coding; however, you’ll provide a better experience for your users.
