how to disable a back button in a browser

sangeetha k

I am working on a project and where it that i have an option to navigate to a page which is endsession page on reaching that page i should not be able to go back in the browser any further. already i have killed the session and cleared the cache but yet its in vain. Can anyone suggest me something other than window.history.forward(); ?

there is nothing 100% which we can do with the Browsers back button we have to go with this solution only and there is no standard which will work across browser from the safari to chrome to IE so stick to this option and move ahead

thanks
