When i was reading head first jsp and servlets, they had a big chapter on "it's not your browser", basically the idea is it isn't your applications browser to fiddle with things.
So for example if you disable the back button, the user changes tabs to another web page, yet their back button is still disabled.

The point is even if you can YOU SHOULDN'T do it.

but I am forwarding you to the jsp forum.

If you do this, you should be covered in honey and staked out on an anthill. Few things are more infuriating than a web page that won't let you leave.

Don't mess with the browser!

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
