Re: [OT] Re: Browser back button
location.href will give you the same page... what you want is whatever the *real* initial page of your app is. For instance, if right now you would go to index.jsp as the first page, then rename that to index1.jsp and use that as the argument. The page I gave you would then become index.jsp. Make sense?

Re: [OT] Re: Browser back button
You have to open your application in a chromeless window. Since you said the Javascript solved your keyboard problem, you are obviously working in an IE-only environment, so here's how to do it... Your app must start with a single page, say index.jsp, which will be: <%@ page language="java" session="false" %> My App function openWindow() { var agt = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); var isMajor = parseInt(navigator.appVersion); var isMinor = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion); var isIE = ((agt.indexOf("msie") != -1) && (agt.indexOf("opera") == -1)); var isIE3 = (isIE && (isMajor < 4)); var isIE4 = (isIE && (isMajor == 4) && (agt.indexOf("msie 4") != -1) ); var isIE5 = (isIE && (isMajor == 4) && (agt.indexOf("msie 5.0") != -1) ); var isIE55Up = (isIE && !isIE3 && !isIE4 && !isIE5); if (isIE55Up) { strContent = ""; strContent = strContent + "
"; strContent = strContent + ""; strContent = strContent + "
"; document.getElementById("Content").innerHTML = strContent; desiredWidth = 1180; desiredHeight = 936; myLeft = (screen.width) ? (screen.width - desiredWidth ) / 2 : 0; myTop = (screen.height) ? (screen.height - desiredHeight ) / 2 : 0; myOpts = "resizable,scrollbars,width=desiredWidth ,height=desiredHeight ,top=" + myTop + ",left=" + myLeft + ","; window.open('index1.jsp', 'MYAPP', myOpts); } } Your browser is not IE, or Javascript is not enabled. Either way, go away! Change desiredWidth and desiredHeight to the size you want the window to be. This will open index1.jsp into a new window with no buttons, menus, status bar, etc. This also centers the window upon opening it, something I generally like. It also ensures the browser is IE 5.5 or higher. You can change that accordingly if you need to support older versions, or want to further limit it to 6.0+ for instance. That's all there is to it... this, plus the Javascript from yesterday, gets you about as close to full control as you can probably reasonably hope to get. As long as your OK in an IE-only world, it's pretty nice. I'm sure it's not fullproof, but it's more than adequate for typical users. Throw in a right-click blocking function and it's pretty good. (If anyone can duplicate both these things with FF, that would be fantastic... the chromeless window probably isn't a big deal, but my gut tells me blocking the back functionality wouldn't be as easy, if possible at all). -- Frank W.

Re: [OT] Re: Browser back button
Hi Frank, Thanks for your reply. That solves my problem of back button or other key on the keyboard. But I still have the problem with the browser back button. I am using Tiles.

There isn't any way to do it cross-browser that I am aware of, and there isn't any way to do it definitively.

This will remove the Back button, and the menus that will allow you to access it, leaving just keyboard shortcuts.
