You can in no way disable the back button. This would be a security threat
if programmers could directly access the browser.
You can make it difficult to leave the current page, but if you want to add
a function that when you press the back button in IE to call tb_Close
(thickbox close function) it's not possible as far as I know and I also
googled it and found nothing as well.
Also, I don't think this is a "bug" isn't this more of usability issue? Your
users are deciding to go back when its a pop up/module window? Maybe I am
misunderstanding this entire thing. If a user presses back when a ThickBox
window is open, no matter what browser, it will go back to the page before.
ThickBox is simply putting a sem-transparent div and then a div over the top
of that one on the current page.
