Disabling Browser back button

Hi,
Is it possible to disable browser's back button from Applet?

There might be some way to clear the browser's history so there's nowhere to go back to. Or set the current document as the "previous" document. Or open up a new window without a toolbar, or without a history....etc
In most cases though, it's a pretty nasty thing to do. Let the users control their own computers, and just have your software do its job.

Hi;
I want to restrict the user to use the back button after session expired or logout. By doing the session expired we are restricting the user to do any new work but I want to restrict the user to see the back pages that he surfed previously in the session.
Is there any method to disable the browser back button after the session Expired?

Thanks in advance.

One possible way is automatic return to the current page by writing the following Javascript code to the previous page:
<script language=JavaScript>
function backButtonOverride(){
setTimeout("backButtonOverrideBody()", 1);
function backButtonOverrideBody(){
try {
history.forward();
} catch (e) {}
setTimeout("backButtonOverrideBody()", 100);
</script>
<%
catch(Exception e){
%>
<jsp:forward page="front.jsp"></jsp:forward>
<%
%>

Is there way to do this,
Thanks

Hi,
no, there is no option for this. You can try JavaScript as explained here: http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2009/11/disable-back-button-browser-javascript.html
See: "Disable Back functionality using history.forward"

SRM5.0 Catalog Std. Call Structure - Disable Browser Back Button

Hi colleagues,
we're on SRM5.0 and have the catalog configured as "Standard Call Structure", i.e. it is displayed in a new browser window.
Is there away to disable the browser back navigation functionality, i.e. open the window without address bar and back navigation buttons?
There doesn't seem to be anything in SPRO in order to control this.
Thanks, Ulli

Hi
I think it is a settings of browser
for eg
internet explorer -> view -> tool bars -> standard tool bar (activate / inactivate )
so you can not see backe button.

Browser "Back" button - can it be disabled or detected when pushed?

Is there any way to disable the back button in the browser or
detect when it is pushed and redirect the application to a different page
rather than moving back to the previous page?
Specifically for IE6 & IE7.

My search found a suggestion to include the following code in the <head> block of the page,
but it does not appear to work, the back button is still enabled.This doesn't disable the back button, but this eliminates the default behaviour of the back button. Normally it loads the previously visited page from the browser cache (which might contain session data or expired data, which could lead to bad user experience), but if you disabled the cache, then it fires a new request to the server side to show the page so that the user is presented with new and accurate data.

How to Disable Browser Back & Forward Button ?

Hi All,
How can I disable Browser Back & Forward button in ADF Faces ?
If Not, I remember reading somewhere that we can call a page with NO Browser button and Menu using Java script, how can I code this java script within ADF Faces ?
Thank you,
xtanto

You might want to double check this solution in your application. Don't think that when the user presses the back button it simply doesn't go anywhere. It does go back to the previous page and the Javascript causes that page to go forward to the page that was just left. You can see this by putting some "alerts" in your pages.
These actions my have consequences in your application.

The browser back button is not working correctly when using the search funtion in ProBoards forums. Is there a known issue with ProBoards & FF?

I have submitted a bug report to ProBoards, but they cannot duplicate the problem I am having, so I am submitting this here in hopes you can find a solution.
At ProBoards Support and another PB forum while doing searches I found this problem, which continues with repeated testing over the past week or so:
url: http://support.proboards.com/search
1. enter perameters for the search (posts only by staff for the last 2 days)
2. choose one of those post results & click on it (choose a post on page 14 and not on page 1 of the results)
3. using the browser back button, attempt to return to the previous page of search results
4. rather than being taken back to the search results with my parameters, the search parameters have been removed and the page show 1000 results of posts by everybody.
I have tested this over and over again, disabling plugins, and nothing seems to alter the malfunctioning of the back button when I am doing this search function at ProBoards.
I have tested it in Internet Explorer and find that in IE the browser back button works properly with ProBoards searches. I always get the result I expect, so it's a problem with how FF interfaces with ProBoards, I think.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Browser back button does not work (IE) - Error On Page message

Just take over website from our designer; I'm new, probably doing more fiddling on the live remote website than I should be...
http://www.cmcwny.org
Error On Page message, internal links work, but the browser Back button does not (at least in IE).
I have a backup of my local site from before this happened, but I do not know how to actually replace it.
Any help on either issue will be appreciated, thanks!

Hi
First, get rid of your designer, the page design/code is a mess.
There are a number of problems with the page, not least being the disabling of the back button in all browsers I tested it in, (visitors may visit once with this, but are unlikely to do so a 2nd time).
The menu system is a fixed size so that when the browser is resized it overflows the browser window.
The use of tables for layout is not recommended as it is inaccessible to users using assistive devices.
To put this more politely, if you paid for this, ask for your money back. If you did not pay, then start again and use one of the dreamweaver layouts for your page, for more info, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html.

Disable explorer back button (using JS)

please tell me how to disable explorer back button, i have made a project and i want to disable explorer back button on signout button, tell me the code using java script

The page that the browser goes back to would have to identify that it came from some place that was not right and redirect to an error page. This means you need all kinds of checking in every page. Of course, if a page has specific input requirements, it makes it easier, but you need a lot of state validation to keep track of these things. If back goes to a form submission page that already was submitted, you need to be able to track this and deny resubmission... But the browser will really be sending the same data from the original form. So you might have a hidden field with some unique ID that once used, can't be used again.
In my current project, we have a check on all pages to redirect to login. Login uses Javascript to popup the actual login and application in a new window without menus and toolbars. This removes the back button. The user can still use the popup right-click menu to go back, but this is not a common thing for many users, and we have our pages designed in such a way as to facilitate going back when appropriate, but when not, they can't.
In some ways, you have to trust that the user isn't going to go back when it's not appropriate... well, I might be dreaming here...

Browser Back Button

Could someone please explain to me why users cannot use the browser back button with SP 2013? What is the purpose of preventing its use?
Also, if there is no legitimate technical reason to disable this capability, how do I stop SP 2013 from redirecting the user to the current page when they try to use the browser back button?

What page? On some you're being bounced from a link to a re-direction so when you hit back you just hit the redirect again and end up in the same place...
There are other times the back behaviour might be interfered with as ajax controls weren't anticipated as part of basic HTML and browser construction.

Browser back button not working with ADF Application integrated with SSO

I have integrated an adf application with Oracle SSO Authentication. Application is running fine.
Though, while navigating between pages, using browser back button , it is not redirecting the url properly
Should Redirect it to : http://<hostname>:<port>/<contex-root>/<servlet>/<id>
Presently Redirecting it to :http://<hostname>:<port>/<contex-root>
As, directory browsing is not allowed, there is Error 403--Forbidden .
Can anybody tell what changes needs to be made to make browser back button work.

In some of the documentation I have read, they have mentioned that using the back button in a browser doesn't work too well with any JSF type of application (not just ADF and Jdeveloper apps).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/web.1111/b31974/web_form.htm#CFHHJGJH
Instead, they suggest using buttons on the form.
There is a video on using navigation between forms that may be of value: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsPtmRID5XI&feature=plcp

Reporting Services add (browser) back button

Dear all,
I have a client that has 4 reports; 1 main, and 3 that are rendered when the user clicks the report data on the main report (which passes parameters to generate the other 3).
They would like to have a back button in the report header of the 3 reports (they don't want to use the browser back button).
Is this possible using a text box, then editing the navigation properties and does anyone have an example? Or am I missing something quite obvious?
Any help would be gratefully received!!
Dan
