Disabling the "Back" button

[Terry Murray]

Hi All:

Well, now I have another question. I have created a rather large
application that is handled through one script. What I would like to have
happen is to make it impossible for the user to be able to get back to a
previous page in the application. The reason that I would like to disable
backwards navigation is that previous pages might access databases. In
certain situations if an attempt to insert in a table would occur then an
error most likely would occur because of a violation on inserting duplicate
data. Is there a simple way to make it impossible to allow this type of
navigation impossible or should I perhaps keep track of state so that if I
knew where one came from I would not allow the access to the database to
occur.


Thanks in advance

Terry

No, you cannot disable the back button. You have to code your pages to
handle anything that a user may do. Take a look here. [url]www.aspfaq.com/2017[/url]
