Marked OT... this isn't Struts-related...
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. However, because you say you are
working on an Intranet application, you may have some options that you
otherwise might not...
First thing, spawn a new window for you app with no chrome. This will
remove the Back button, and the menus that will allow you to access it,
leaving just keyboard shortcuts.
If you can develop for IE-only, here's something I have found works...
throw this in your onLoad handler...
document.onkeydown=function(e){if(event.srcElement.type=='text'||event.srcElement.type=='textarea'){return
true;}else{return false;}};
This will block the back shortcut. Amazingly, it also seems to block
reload, and mouse clicks (i.e., if you have the middle mouse button
mapped to back, as I do). In other words, it seems to pretty well block
everything that you might be interested in blocking :) But again, it
is IE-only.
Don't forget too that many will argue that this is terrible web design.
I happen to disagree, but there are very reasonable arguments to make
that this is a bad idea. Make sure it's what you really want and need.

Hi,
I am using Struts and Tiles for an intranet application. I want to disable the back button.
How can I achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated.
