Hi Guys,
I know everywhere it says that it is not possible to actually disable the back button,
and people have offered some solutions that have not worked for me, this is why I am
emailing this list.
I have a form which displays the same page with new content (controlled by a counter)
in a loop until an exit point is reached. When the user clicks back on the browser
the counter still increments and the screen continues like the user pressed the
continue button (which is the process I want the user to take). The problem is the
user did not make a selection and this is where the problem lies (it takes the
default, which throws the whole process out of whack).
The question I am asking is how can I prevent the user trying to go back? Is there
any code out there which can counter this action (and not cause my counter to
increment, thus moving the user to the next screen)? Is there any way to detect that
the back button/option has been selected and display a "warning" type page before
going back to where the user is? The forward counter action does not really fix my
problem.
Thanks,
Michael.
