Ever been to one of those sites where you try to click the Back button, but nothing happens? Instead of going back to the previous page you were on, it just keeps reloading the same page??

Yeah that’s pretty annoying, but lots of websites do it! In this post, I’ll teach you how you can also do it, though I only recommend it in specific instances. Do not put this code on your entire website, otherwise it will ruin the user experience.

If there is a page that you need to ensure people cannot click Back to get to, such as when completing a checkout process or something, then use this technique. Also, note that it may not work in all browsers or browsers in which Javascript is disabled.

Unfortunately, there is not one piece of code that always works. Basically, there is a function called forward in JavaScript that lets you automatically send someone back to the page they just came from.

So on the page that you do not want people to be able to come back to, try this code:

    <body onLoad=”history.go(+1)”>

Or you can try this JavaScript code:

    onLoad=”if(history.length>0)history.go(+1)”

If you’re not having much luck with that, try this out:

    <script language=”javascript”>
    window.history.forward(1);
    </script>

Or even more simply, you can try this:

    <script>
    history.forward();
    </script>
