Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am supporting an e-commerce app,
which pretty much makes and submits orders.  A user found that
if they submit their order, and press back really quickly, they
can cause an error condition.  I want to prevent this. When the
user clicks submit, I want to bind some kind of event to the
browser's back button that instead will redirect them to the
Index page. However, after about two hours of Googling
(including a few StackOverflow topics), I have not found any
clear way of influencing the behavior of the back button.  I
briefly attempted to use history.pushState(), but as the HTML 5
documentation mentions, that will not cause a redirect; it
merely alters the displayed URL/state.  Similarly, the
history.onpopstate event appears unhelpful, because it occurs
whenever a state is removed from the history listing; I'm
looking for an event that occurs whenever the history listing is
traversed backwards.  Question: Does an event for the browser's
back button, or at least a way to prevent this
