Hi,
When a ASPX page ( for example, ProduceAddress.aspx ) is opened, I need to shield 'Refresh' button,'go forward' button and 'go back' button located in the Browser such as IE, FireFox. How will I realize it using JavaScript?

If you really want to disable back button then either open the page in a new window or use location.replace that make browser forget history, so user will be not able to use back button. More information on this link http://www.webreference.com/js/tips/990923.html

If I were using those pages, I would be very frustrated if I could not use the back button or key. I suggest that you do something else, such as detecting when the back button or key is used and then not do whatever processing that should not be done.
