Disabling Back Button on Browser
Hi Experts,
I have a web application that takes a lot of data-entry... Often, when an user doesn't have focus on a field and clicks Backspace, their data is wiped.
Is it possible to disable Back using JS? If no, can I disable it for individual browser (FireFox, Chrome, Safari) for a particular subdomain?
Of course, I prefer JS.
Thank you
