disabling the back/forward buttons i created on my web page

[pmelanso]

hello,
I want to create back and forward buttons on my web page. I didn't have
a problem with that... the thing I am having trouble with is I woudl
like to display "disabled" images when there if there isn't a page to
go back/forward...how would I go about doing that???

You can't.

You can.

on top of the page add this code

<script>
window.history. forward(0);
</script>

and see the magic.

That's not magic, that is stupid.

And just how do you think that disables the back/forward buttons created
on a page? All your little "gimmick" does is prevent people from using
the back button to get back to your page. It does nothing to tell you
anything about the history trail, which you would need to know in order
to determine whether to show a back/forward button on your page.
