Some web apps 'by design' don't function well when user's hit the back button in the middle of a procedure. What are some ways to disable or correct for users hitting the back button in vulnerable app sections?

A:
Web applications that don't function when the user hits the back button are badly designed. Users expect the back button to work, and usually all attempts to disable this function greatly annoy the users. So I advise against any such plans and can only recommend to make the application work with the back button.
