How to disable browser buttons with JS

[Caliban]

Hi,
Is there any way to disable the browser's nav buttons (Back, Forward, Refresh) in order to restrict the user to use the nav buttons of the pages.

t.i.a.

No.You can not do that with JavaScript

If you cannot disable refresh button with JS. How would you?

[Caliban]

To open the page with the "window.open" JS command, like this:

window.open('myURL','myIdPage','location=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes, and so on...')
or
window.showDialogWindow

Both window.open and window.showDialogWindow have the same funcionallity, but window.showDialogWindow opens a new browser window like a MODAL window (the focus is always on the modal window)

Thus, this is the "fast" way to open a browser window without menu, toolbar o nav buttons, to force the user to use your nav buttons.

I hope it works for y'all.
