Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to use javascript to prevent users from right clicking and using the backbutton for a test i am creating

any one have any ideas how to do this?

You can use the code that praveen gave to prevent right clicking (although pointless because there are numerous ways around this)

As for disabling the back button, I do not think it is possible. Unless somebody else knows a way.

One way to disable the back button is to use a forwarder, which is a page in-between the two pages you want to separate.

The forwarder changes the page location when it loads, something like this:

HTML Code:

<html>
<body onload="window.location='whatever.htm';">

</body>
</html>

That way if the person uses the back button, they go to the forwarder, which puts them right back where they were.

This is easily circumvented, of course, but I think it's about the best that can be done.
