You asked for quick response, so I gave you one ;)
Anyway, the browser's history is something a page / JavaScript cannot control. Only the user can clear the history. If you think of it, you should be glad that's the case. How would you find it if some site just cleared your history, so you couldn't go back to a previous page, like search results in Google?
There are ways to stop your pages being added to the history. You can use location.replace instead of location.href. The results of this may vary, though....

Like I suggested earlier: with location.replace.
So, instead of regular <a href> tags, use JavaScript with location.replace.

hi, imar
thnx for ur quick reply
i m using 3 aspx pages. webform1.aspx,webform2.aspx,
webform3.aspx. all the three pages are linked after one another.
what i want to do is, i want to restrict the user from viewing
webform2 page after he reaches to webform3. in other words user
after reaching on webform3 the browser's back button shud get
disabled. i tried using history.go method but it affects redirection of
other hyperlinks on the webform3 page.
in this case how do i use the location.replace() method. and on which page/event should i use it?
wht can be the possible solution?
thanks and regards

What you're asking is impossible, you can't prevent the user going backwards by controlling the browser. You need to re-think the design and enforce the requirements server-side.
