To prevent the users from going to the previous page, i have been using the javascript function as follows

XML

<script type"text/javascript">        
       function DisableBackButton() {
            window.history.forward()
        }
        DisableBackButton();
        window.onload = DisableBackButton;
        window.onpageshow = function (evt) { if (evt.persisted) DisableBackButton() }
        window.onunload = function () { void (0) }
<script>

It has been working satisfactorily in ie9

Now i fiind that in chrome and Firefx, it fails to prevent users from using back button.

I am looking for modification in code or some other code that can prevent users from using back button

I am not talking of disabling back button on logout but it is all about using back button on pages within the site, which is necessitated because of change in role when user goes from one page to other.

Any kind of help would be welcome

Many thanks

Solution 1

Test the following lines :

JavaScript

<script type = "text/javascript" >
    function preventBack(){window.history.forward();}
    setTimeout("preventBack()", 0);
    window.onunload=function(){null};
</script>

Try

The demo seems to be working in Chrome when I tried.
