[Gllug] Off Topic Not a Plug

[Jackson, Harry]

Hi all

I have just visited our own web site and I can see that they have put in
some JavaScript to stop you from hitting back on your browser. I know that
you can do it if you hit it back twice but I still think that this is very
bad etiquette and a bit selfish of the company forcing people through the
site. Could you tell me what this facility is called because I am going to
complain to the department who looks after the site to tell them to wise up.
I have tried to view the source but can find little in there.

Site in Question
http://www.colt-telecom.co.uk/colt_micro/index.php?sid=1

Please do not slag off the site as I know that most of the flashing lights
appear superfluous to requirements and are more for aesthetics than
ergonomics, you have to remember that websites are designed for marketing
and sales people as opposed to the people who will actually buy the service.
Oh and I find it slow browsing it on a 2Mb link.

Regards;
Harry Jackson.
