I need an IE toolbar button that will take me back 2 pages, not one, with one click. Bookmarklets work, but only after hitting the button twice. Hitting it once does nothing. Please help!

I'm going to have to agree with Greg and Wong Kokkong. There are definitely scenarios where a way to programmatically (through JavaScript and/or VBScript) disable the back button on the client. Although somebody would find a way to abuse this feature of the client-side languages, I offer another scenario where this is almost a must.
I'm building a session based application. When the session times out a user should not be able to go back to the previous page(s) to see the security restricted information therein. If a malicious person gains access to a user's computer and hits the back button a couple times, all of that information is there in plain view.
It would be really, really nice to simply do a "history.clear();" or something like that to accomplish this.
And, again, I do understand the arguement that somebody is going to abuse this functionality if it were ever available, but I offer up this one snippet of code:
<body onLoad="popupAdvertisementWindow();">
It's already been done once, why not again?! I'm dead serious. What's the worst that could happen? Maybe I'm missing something.
Now that I'm done with my rant, does anybody have any ideas to solve my problem?
The only thing I've come up with is using the replace() method for all links within the site. First of all, not very fun (especially since I've already written all the links), and secondly, this is really not fun if you're trying to POST information to a page (you'd have to gather all the form elements into string to be passed to the replace method, and then there's url length limitations, etc).
Thanks!

Webmasters who disable the backbutton are butt holes. I take a direct approach. This practice is against the major search engine's spam policy. I make a note of the offending URL. I contact the owner of the URL and let him know what a butt hole he/she is and that they will be reported. Then I report the offending site using the spam link of the search engine where it was encountered. Hopefully sites like Google will remove them from the search results, which is what they deserve. I encourage everyone else to do the same. For clarification, the scenario I am referring to is when encountering an "index" page that you can't leave. It does not have anything to do with "context" or form submission problems. If I have gone that far, then I want to be on the site anyway. Edited 02-15-2003 09:44 AM

all the methiods listed in the artical of disabling the right mouse click are easily defeated.
1. right click and leave the mouse button down 2. when the pop up window comes up hit the spacebar. that will close the pop up window 3. relase the right mouse button and you have your menu.
the last of the two examples (the one that tries to give a fake menu) is a little differant, you have hit tab and then the space bar (to select cancel to the copyright question) but still works.
websites that try to disable the functionalilty of browsers are just annoying. none of them are effective. there is always a way around.

For all those that see no need for disabling the "Back" button let me offer this scenario:
You have a web application that establishes a session and caches data based on what links you have clicked. If you then click the back button, the cached information on the server does not match the context you are now in. Thus, in this case, you would want to disable the "Back" button.
I have to confess, I have been temporarily "trapped" on a web page that disabled the back button and it has really annoyed me. Now I find myself developing a web application that requires this behavior.

And, for those running Mozilla, the right-click option also offers "Open in new tab," which opens the selected link in another tab of the browser (vice new window). When done with link, simply close tab. No hijacking of back button.

Although I agree that disabling the back button is a pain for the user, but it becomes very essential for those information web sites (which don't always have the big resources - wide bandwidths, array of web servers with multiple backend servers, excellent telecomm. links for geographically distributed databases etc.), wherein the "impatient user" is not willing to wait even for slightly longer waiting period after he has submitted the query and almost always goes back to the previous page and refires the query, thus loading/choking the web site.
I would like some purely client side Javascript code which disables the user from going back and again refiring the query, while the query is in progress but it allows him to go back after the query has completed.
