Back button clicked
How do I know when the Back button on the browser has been clicked?
When the user clicks the back button, you are already in the previos page or specified page and so you cant trap. You can capture the URL, and query params..at the top of eah page and will come to know if the user is in the same page or different..What finally you want to do
If you want to "prevent" usage of the back button, you can add the following to your pages to force the browser to the most recent page in the history. While you can't actually disable the back button, this effectively "disables" the back button by providing the same result of keeping the user on the current or subsequent pages.
<script language=javascript>
window.history.forward();
</script>
<script language=javascript>
window.history.forward();
</script>

Hi skwalsh
In the interest of maintaining the database of questions, it would be good if you could resolve your question. Your options at this point are:
1. Award points to the Expert who provided an answer, or who helped you most. Do this by clicking on the "Accept Comment as Answer" button that lies above and to the right of the appropriate expert's name.
2. Award points to multiple experts--If you wish to award multiple participants, you can do so by creating a zero point question in the Community Support topic area, include this link and tell them which experts you'd like to award what amounts.
3. PAQ the question because the information might be useful to others, but was not useful to you. To use this option, you must state why the question is no longer useful to you, and the experts need to let me know if they feel that you're being unfair.
4. Delete the question because it is of no value to you or to anyone else. To use this option, you must state why the question is no longer useful to you, and the experts need to let me know if they feel that you're being unfair.
If you elect for option 2, 3 or 4, all you need to do is post right here as a comment, and I will take care of the rest.
PLEASE DO NOT AWARD THE POINTS TO ME. We also request that you review any other open questions you might have and deal with them as necessary.
