Prevent "back" functionality

[Barry Fitzgerald]

I have a site that requires a large number of pages to complete the entry of
all the information. The information collected also varies depending on some
of the data entered. I would like to prevent the back button from working.
Can that be done? Can I prevent a page from displaying when the back button
is clicked somehow, perhaps by requiring that it always be loaded from the
web sever and not cached on the user pc?

Hi Barry Fitzgerald,
Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroup Service. Based on your description,
you want to disable the "back" button function of IE or prevent the pages
from being cached so that the pages will be loaded form server everytime
they are navigated. Is my understanding correct?

If so, I think Natty Gur has provided a very good weblink which has
mentioned both of the two methods:
1. Prevent the "back" button
2. Disable the page's cache

questions on it, please feel free to let me know.
