    Question Hey Out There, I'm Looking For A Script...



    ....That will disable the "Forward" and "Back" buttons on a
    keyboard, while a viewer is in a particular section of my
    site at: quantumanser.net. That section uses IFrames
    extensively, and i want folks to use the "Forward" and
    "Back" buttons that i provide in that section.
    I've found that anyone using the buttons on their
    keyboard or mouse to do that, can really cause confusion
    for their browser, my site's server, and themselves.
    I'm neither a "Webmaster" or a professional, and i'm self
    taught, so please go easy on me; anyone that can tell me
    what scripting to use. Thanks...KaTT.

    Are you looking for disabling the 'back' and 'forward' button available in your browser toolbar?

    or

    Looking for a way to the key press on the 'backspace' button in your keyboard?

    I think it is the first one codeEx.. however one must realize taking a function away from a user will only make them mad.

    I hardly use my browsers back and forward buttons, for example, instead I use alt+{right arrow} or alt+ {left arrow} to go back and forth. So even taking the buttons out of my browser isn't going to help.

    Usability of a site is a top priority, however, taking things away from me is bad, and I will leave.

    Instead perhaps a text explanation to "Please use the provided navigations to ensure a smooth visiting experience" would be better.
