I'm sure this has come up many times, and will no doubt cause a kerfuffle.
I'm aware of all the reasons why i shouldn't - googling finds thousands.
my question is how can I, or how best to avoid the need.
I'm building a PHP/MySQL application using data entry forms. in some
cases it would be desirable to prevent the user from using the browser
back button - e.g a part completed form, part updated record. etc.
Could I ask for links to information on:
* best practice for avoiding the need to disable the back button (what
should I be doing with my data entry design)
* best practice to disable the back button - for those desperately
important occasions when it's unavoidable.
TIA
and
Happy New Year folks!
