    Just insert this within head section :


    function noBack(){window.history.forward()}
    noBack();
    window.onload=noBack;
    window.onpageshow=function(evt){if(evt.persisted)noBack()}
    window.onunload=function(){void(0)}


    It works with IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera

    Please note that history.forward() never gets any param.
    It's equivalent to history.go(1).
