Question

how can I disable or hide address bar and back and forward buttons in ie and firefox

i tried lots of links and solutions but non of them worked
for example for disabling back button:

<script type = "text/javascript" >
function changeHashOnLoad() {
    window.location.href += "#";
    setTimeout("changeHashAgain()", "50");
}

function changeHashAgain() {
    window.location.href += "1";
}

var storedHash = window.location.hash;
window.setInterval(function () {
    if (window.location.hash != storedHash) {
        window.location.hash = storedHash;
    }
}, 50);

but it seems that it goes to previous page then it returns

and i trid :

 window.scrollTo(0, 0); // reset in case prev not scrolled  
        var nPageH = $(document).height();
        var nViewH = window.outerHeight;
        if (nViewH > nPageH) {
            nViewH -= 250;
            $('BODY').css('height', nViewH + 'px');
        }
        window.scrollTo(0, 1);
    }

for disabling menu bar but it didnt work

what can i do

Don’t think you can disable buttons on browser. I mean, otherwise, we’d seen it on spyware infected sites…

In terms of hiding them, I’ve seen banks use a full screen popup without those buttons (but hardware button on mouse or hitting backspace still works).
