RE: Page Cache..
Another idea would be to put the three pages in your form onto one page as
hidden divs (except the first - that one should be visible). Then provide a
way to move between the pages (next/back links that would hide/show the
appropriate divs). And a Finish link/button that submitts the form.
Doing it this way will only put the main form on the history - hitting back
takes you to the page you were on before going to the form.
Another method is to make use of a hidden IFrame. Submit your form into an
iframe. Do whatever processing you need in the IFrame, then use _javascript_
to change the parent page with a
"window.parent.document.location.replace("page2.cfm");
Using the replace will prevent the back button from loading the first page
of the form.
There's always a way to work around the back button limitations...

"Caution: There is no true way of completely diabling the back button"
With the short answer out of the way, here's some _javascript_ that will make
it harder for folks to move backwards on your page.
Step one: Open the first page of the application in a new window. Use this
script as an example of preventing the back button from appearing in the
window
Step two: Disable the right clicker using this script from Dynamic Drive.
Please note that it only works in IE consistantly

Re: Page Cache..
You could use the replace function in JS to go from form to form thus disabling the ability for them to be able to go back if they do find a way after disabling everything. replace Method The replace method replaces the current History entry with the specified URL. After calling the replace method, you cannot navigate back to the previous URL using the browser's Back button.

Having read the caution, I should still point out that the user can always go back via "Alt + Left Arrow." Also, you should carefully consider "disabling" the back button. It tends to be a user-interface (usability) no-no. People have come to recognize, expect, and rely on the back button as a vehicle for navigating through a series of web pages. Disabling it removes a commonly expected tool from the user's browsing arsenal. Better you should code to accept and support the back button. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 942-5378 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
