Please explain why you need this? I'm sure there is a better way of doing things. – 472084 Aug 01 '12 at 07:16

You cannot control the browser UI buttons. It would have security issues if you could play around with the Browser UI, so nothing along these lines are possible.
What do you mean you have disabled the back button? Instead of taking this away from the user, why not work with it?

You can't. The user should have control of his or her own history.
You can open links in a new window if they have a particular purpose. If you really wanted you could have a javascript popup to confirm before navigating away from the page.
