Not actually. Back button has always been a headache for Web apps. The best way is to educate users not to use it. That said, even myself sometimes press back button in a web app! . Quote

Surely there must be a way to disable the back button like intraweb does. Not an elegant way to solve the problem but it sure works. . Quote

Each new Form opens a new browser page so back button may make sense, but in unigui there is only one page and everything is rendered inside that page. The question is what back button is actually intended to do? Consider that you have lots of open forms and you press back button. Should it close the last opened form or what? Regards, Farshad .
