I think I found a "solution". Excuse my english, I'm Spanish. You must create two final pages, to avoid the user go BACK. You must use the OnUnLoad event (BODY)where you make the submit (netscape) or the location.href (EXPLORER) to go to one SERVLET. You'll go from one final page to the other using the forward(req,res) in the servlet code. For further explanations I can help you (I hope) from my e-mail address. Bye, Sancho.

Bit of a long road for a shortcut. All you need to do is set up a redirect page to your main page. Every time the user clicks back it will kick him straight back to the page.

The last option that employs the forward() method of the window.history property worked best for me.

The option that employed self.close is not a feasible option according O'Reilly's JavaScript guide since you need UniversalBrowserWrite privileges to close a browser window. When I tried it, I got a warning asking me if I want to close the window.
