Re: Disabling Browser "BACK" button

Petre, why not use javascripts window.open something like this link to open your app <a href="#" onClick="window.open('http://yourapp.com','yourappname','toolbar=no'); return false;">link to your app</a>. this would open a new window without the back and forward buttons.
