This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you don't want people to be able to browse back within your site you could use the document.location.replace(
When you replace and URL with this method, that URL also replaces the current page in the clients history.
If you use this in each link within your site, there will be no links in your history to use for the back-button.
To start off with a clean history to start with, opening a new window is probably the best option (as webwoman suggested)
hope this helps,

NJ, and what about existent URL's in history. window.location.replace() it's good if you have opened the windows and start to navigate inside this pages, but when you have navigated before and then load any kind of these pages, this method is not efficient.
One second. If you load a index.html, for example, and only is a loader to a second page without location() creates a new history element. Then if you go back you will load index.html and inmediately rebound to second page.
It's a dummy method. If you press "back" quickly you go back more than one time...

Or right-click on the back button to bypass the page.
It is considered VERY rude to break a back button.
newjack's suggestion is the one to use
