How to block back browser button

Ritz — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 18:47:28 GMT

Hello Experts,

Please share your thoughts here. I want the user to restrict and never use "Back button" from browser. Is it possible to achieve same using scripting?

Thanks

Ritesh

This should apply here.

Personas scripting has no way to do it and using other methods in a flavor is not recommended, since it doesn't use the Personas scripting API.

As always thanks for helping me @tamas.hoznek in difficult times. My user is not actually clicking the browser arrow but the back button we all have on our mobile? so will this work with it? I am using Velocity browser.

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.history.forward();
    function noBack()
    {
        window.history.forward();
    }
</script>

<body onLoad="noBack();" onpageshow="if (event.persisted) noBack();" onUnload="">

Thanks

Ritesh

I don't know that browser, but there is only one way to find out 🙂

I was using velocity browser , achieved adding script in browser. even api's available to generate message when user click back in middle of transaction. Closing this thread.
