Hi Rajasekar,
You cannot disable the browser's back button. It is a part of the computer program, thus - from the cilent's machine, and JavaScript cannot access it for security reasons. How browsers handle the back command is up to them. The closest you can get to modifying this is by using the history JavaScript object, which is very limited. There are some hacks that somewhat disable the back functionality, yet I would not recommend them. Further information about it can is freely available in the net. A good starting point is this google search.
