Hi
I I tell you the answer, I suppose it means you'll be able to spend less time on JavaScript and more time on Java, so here goes:
Open your page in a new window using window.open(...). This JavaScript takes lots of parameters, such as the page you want to display in the window, as well as settings for hiding the toolbar (which includes the forward/back buttons).
Do a search on the net for window.open for full syntax. I think you can modify the properties of the current window if you want to stay in the same window, but can't remember the syntax.
Note you can also disable the right mouse button by defining the following function:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
var message="Right-click disabled!";
function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button==2||event.button==3) {
alert(message);
return false;
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=click;
// -->
</SCRIPT>
I don't know how to stop the user from pressing 'Backspace' unless you use Java to monitor the navigation.
Hope this helps
