It's really best to avoid a design dependant on the back button if possible

hi,

In some of the secured applications like banking applications,if the user clicks the back button,he will get error messages like "Your Session has expired"...can anyone say me how they are getting the back button click event.....

This sounds to me like this is being done server-side, using sessions and/or cookies...

I agree as well that it is a bad idea to try to attach code to the browser's back button. Not only will this drive a lot of users mad (me included), you probably will have to change your code every time a user's browser is updated. And what do you do when your users don't use the company "standard" browser??? To me, there would have to be a better solution...
