how to disable the back button in Struts 1.2.3 ?

[Fernandes Celinio SGCF <Ce...@socgen.com>]

Hi,
I want to forbid the user to go back.

Javascript does not work in actions:

<script language="JavaScript">
   window.history.forward(1);
</script>


Is there a way to disable the back button in Struts ?
Thanks

Well, obviously; Javascript runs on the client, actions run on the server.

That code should work as you expect as long as it is included on the 
page you want to disable the back button for. However, that's generally 
a bad thing to do from a usability perspective; users expect their back 
buttons to work unimpeded.

I would suggest re-examining the requirement that led you to disabling 
the back button, and addressing it in a way that allows the back button 
to function normally.
