Hello there
I would like to know as to how I can catch the Back Button click event on my Client code. I need to do this so as to direct the client to a specific page of my choice when he clicks the Back Button on the tool bar
I would really appreciate if someone can help me out at the earliest.

Thanking you
Rahul

Hi Man

sorry, but it seems to be impossible - it's comming from JS security reasons - U can't force client/user to do whatever U want.

Ciao
