Disabling the Back button

Is there a way to disable the back button on a browser.

No.

You can use the JavaScript function location.replace() to prevent your pages from being added to the window's history object, but you can't disable Back.

<A href='javascript:self.document.location.replace("nextfile.html");'> Click here! </A>

Then when the user gets to nextfile.html, he or she can't use Back to get to previousfile.html.

You can also disable it by leaving from a dummy page immediately to the real page. When users try to go back, they keep getting immediately pushed forward again.

Keep in mind that it is very user-unfriendly to do this except in very special circumstances.
