[javascript] How to disable the back button in the browser using JavaScript 

history.pushState(null, null, document.title);
window.addEventListener('popstate', function () {
    history.pushState(null, null, document.title);
});

This script will overwrite attempts to navigate back and forth with the state of the current page.

Update:

Some users have reported better success with using document.URL instead of document.title:

history.pushState(null, null, document.URL);
window.addEventListener('popstate', function () {
    history.pushState(null, null, document.URL);
});
