There are so many threads open related to this issue.
After sign out when the user press BACK button on the browser, it gets him to the members page.
Logicaly, it's done on the client side and we cannot do much from the code-behind. So, in order to prevent Browser BACK button click after SignOut, we have to use some javascript.
The first and easiest approach to acomplish this is by using the following javascript code:
<body onload="javascript:window.history.forward(1);">
This code should be placed on the <body> tag of the Members page where Log out button appears.
The problem is that this code will work perfectly on IE (Internet Explorer) but won't work at all for Mozilla Firefox 3.x versions.
So, in order to make this work on Mozilla Firefox, I've prepared Javascript function which is:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function disableBackButton()
{
window.history.forward()
}
disableBackButton();
window.onload=disableBackButton();
window.onpageshow=function(evt) { if(evt.persisted) disableBackButton() }
window.onunload=function() { void(0) }
</script>
then call noBack() function on <body> on the following way:
<body onload="noBack();">
This code will not let the user get BACK after Sign out.
The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.
The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
