I found another workaround at
"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12381563/how-to-stop-browser-back-button-using-javascript";.
Instead of fixing the page reload it prevents going back in history.
Generally you shouldn't do this. But if you are in a Javascript
application like JSmol I think it would be more annoying for a user to
loose the work done than not to be able to go back.
It doesn't solve the problem of going into the 'forward' direction. But
if all links in the page are set to be opened in a new window/tab it
should at least be difficult to go somewhere else accidentally.
------- HTML/Javascript -------------------------
<script>
history.pushState(null, document.title, location.href);
window.addEventListener('popstate', function (event)
{
history.pushState(null, document.title, location.href);
});
</script>
-------------------------------------------------
I have tested it only in Firefox 43.0.4 and Chromium 31.0 on Linux yet.
But there it works nicely. Javascript variables retain there content and
JSmol keeps it's current state. And in comparison to other similar
solutions within the URL above, a manual page reload still works.
