Browser back press

Can anyone tell me how to prevent browser back press in visualforce pages

Thanks

You can't stop the user pressing the browser back button, as that would allow nefarious javascript to trap people on web pages. There are some rather hacky workarounds documented at:

but I'd be really wary of doing this. A better approach is to add an unload handler, which will ask the user to confirm that they wish to navigate awat from the page.
