How to find whether the user clicks browser back button or Refresh button

Question

I need to find whether the user clicking the browser back button or Refresh button.

I need to redirect the page to Error page when he clicks the back or refresh button.

Answer 1

This simply detects if the user lands on your page using the back/forward buttons... the only problem is with IE8 and lower, the browser version cannot handle this.

if(performance.navigation.type == 2)
{
    //Do your code here
}
