You can't actually, since you don't have direct control over the browser.

This question has been asked many times on these lists, and usually the 

advice is: program around it. That is, make sure that IF the user presses 

the back button, the right action is taken. So if you page inserts a record 

for example, set a flag that the record has already been inserted. Then 

when the user hits the back button this flag determines that you shouldn't 

insert the record again.

Please don't mess with the default functionality of the browser. The Help

Desk will get a million phone calls that their browser doesn't work. The

browser is a generalized UI which people expect to work properly. Altering

the normal browser functions is bad programming.

A better question is "How do I prevent a page from being reposted?" Hidden

form values can supply your application with the ability to tell if a page

is being reposted.
