RE: [PHP] stopping back button

Yeah, I didn't think of that. The only drawback is if the user knows that you can use the keyboard's backspace key (IE) when the back button is not available. I think there's a keyboard command in Netscape that does the same thing, although I don't know what it is (maybe "ALT+<-" ?). Maybe use META Refresh or some code to force the page to refresh and not come out of cache? Not really sure if that would work. -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: mohrt@ispi.net [mailto:mohrt@ispi.net]On Behalf Of Monte Ohrt Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 10:46 AM To: Jeff Demel Subject: Re: [PHP] stopping back button This may not work 100% since browsers might display a locally cached version of the previous page. One possible preventative measure would be to open the application in a new browser window without the toolbar buttons.
