You cannot disable the back button and the keyboard hotkey for this task from a perl script. You might need to use a client side program, like a Javascript one.
However, you can make a page not to cache, and to expire immidiately, and this way if a visitor will press the back button the page won't be shown automaticly. However, they will be asked if they want to resend the data to the server and if the visitors will answer 'yes', the browser will resend it with no problem. You need to use this method, and also check on the server that the data was not submitted for a second time. To print the http headers for not allowing caching and to set the expiration date to immidiately expire, use something like: print <<EOF; Content-type: text/html Cache-control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache Expires: Thu, 01-Jan-2033 01:01:01 GMT <html><head>.... ... </html> EOF teddy.fcc.ro [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Catriona Wordsworth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 7:38 AM Subject: disable back button Hi guys, pretty simple stuff I hope, but can someone tell me how to disable the back button in my perl script? thanks & regards Cat -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
