Disable browser's back button

Question

How to disable browser\'s BACK Button (across browsers)?

Answer 1

IF you need to softly suppress the delete and backspace keys in your Web app, so that when they are editing / deleting items the page does not get redirected unexpectedly, you can use this code:

window.addEventListener('keydown', function(e) {
  var key = e.keyCode || e.which;
  if (key == 8 /*BACKSPACE*/ || key == 46/*DELETE*/) {
    var len=window.location.href.length;
    if(window.location.href[len-1]!='#') window.location.href += "#";
  }
},false);
