You need to design your site in such a way that you do not have to mess with browser functionality. Back button is an integral part of navigation and can not be disabled.

I Can't find a way to disable the back button - but as already stated you should really try to re-design the site so that this is not required.

Why can't your users go back?

This is fundamental to designing the solution. What is the real problem?
a) after submitting a form you don't want them to re-submit, because this messes everything up?
b) can't think of a b!

My idea... when they press link to go to form page, make it open in a new window. This is simple HTML.
Include on your confirmation page a button [complete registration] etc. which closes the new window.
Now the form window is closed and they won't be tempted to go back.

I am not a javascript programmer, but i'm sure that someone will know how to open the new window at exactly the same size + position as the original one so that the whole proceess is seamless.

I would also like to know how this is done!
