1. Is there a way to open a link from an IE  window which has the
toolbars enabled, which opens the new page in the same IE window but
without the toolbars so that the back and forward buttons are not
present.

 i tried window.open and it opens a new window.
 window.showmodaldialog also opens the window in another window which is
not resizable.

2. can there be a way to prompt a message when the user is leaving the
form when she presses the back/fwd buttons only.

 please guide.

 thx

Thankfully, there is not. You *can* use window.open and control the
presence/absence of toolbars, or specify TARGET="_blank" to get a window with no
history, but I suspect neither of these is what you are after.

Fix your application so you won't need to worry about users going back.
