Re: disable back button when using div's
thank you guys for your help. I decided to go with the server option. I'm checking to see if the record already exists in the database. If he does, I'm just alerting/displaying a message.

Re: disable back button when using div's
There have been a few forums on this list on diabiling back buttons. For better or worse there is always a way to activiate the back button that you did not know in a specic browser. Ditto the same for the browser's history. Take Joachim's advice on this one (never a bad idea to begin with) and assume that someone will use the back button and trap the error! Here are a few ideas you can consider on the server side: 1) Create a session variable if the person has added a record. When you have finished the process delete the session variable. If someone uses the back button, having the session variable in hand, you can now handle the situation. 2) When inserting data into the database, check to see if the information has been entered correctly into the database. If it has, then stop the database transaction. 3) Surround the transaction with cftry/cfcatch to check if someone is entering the form with the wrong information. If this is the case then someone is accessing the information through the browser's history.

You can kludge some workarounds that will fool most browsers, but you can't reliably disable the back button. In *my* browser *I* decide whether *my* back button will work. You can do whatever you want on the server, like ignoring the second/third etc. submission of the form, because you control the server, but the client controls the browser.

disable back button when using div's
Hello everybody, I've read a lot about disabling the browser back button when a user submits a form where the action page is different from the submitting page. It is absolutely important that the user is stopped from going back a page because This is an application where authorised users can add new users Ok, here it goes. The super user fills in the new user form and submits the page. On form submission I'm displaying a confimation message. This is displayed inside a div tag. Here, this might help. form.hid_adduser neq ""> addtoken="no"> height="205"> class="label"> Thank you for adding a new user. An email has been sent to the customer to advise. value="#cgi.script_name#?#cgi.query_string#"> I want to disable the 'back' button when the user sees the confimation message.
