Hi,

I want to disable back navigation.
I found this article
https://bhartee-tech-ror.medium.com/how-to-stop-the-browser-back-button-in-js-5386e078449b#:~:text=Window%20%60onload%60%20Event%3A&text=onload%60%20event%3A-,window.,navigation%20will%20be%20triggered%20again.

where would be the best place to but this snippet?

regards
Markus

Hi,

you can place any additional JavaScript code, view first chatper of:

But to be honest: I do not believe that what is described in the article you mention is working for Single Page Application type of pages: as far as I see, the navigation is executed, but on the same page again: this means the current page should be reloaded... Anyway you may give a try: if you are successful, then we immediately copy from what you do! ;-)

KInd regards! Björn

PS: for interested readers: the common way to avoid unwanted back-navigation is to set CONFIRMEXIT to "true": then the default browser window shows up and the user has to confirm he/she wants to leave the application.

and PPS: another way it to start the dialog as progressive web application, then it runs in an own windows without the browser "surroundings"
