Hi All,

I have the page with hidden fields and sesisons which are required to load the web page.I would like to know the possible ways to disable the browser back button either in javascript or JQuery.Even if user clicks then screen should not navigate and should stay on the same page.
Tried with window.history.forward() and is still going back and getting the error web page cannot be displayed.
And this should work in latest browsers as well

Thanks in Adavance !!
