I am Suriakumar programmer in Providex.

I have seen so many discussion forums on Back buttons in Web pages.

1) I want to Clarification on whether is it possible to disable a Back button in Web page

2) Is it possible to Trap Back button ?

Yes it's possible, and it's very obnoxious when websites do it. But it is also very very easy to get around it.

If this is for a multipage form or something, and preventing the back is to avoid some sort of exploit or other security concerns - I would suggest using server side scripting and registers.

No, in javascript you cannot disable the back button.

That would raise security issues.

You can use activex, but that would not be purely in javascript
