另一个使用jquery的方法

    <script type="text/javascript">

    //set this variable according to the need within the page
    var BACKSPACE_NAV_DISABLED = true;

    function fnPreventBackspace(event){if (BACKSPACE_NAV_DISABLED && event.keyCode == 8) {return false;}}
    function fnPreventBackspacePropagation(event){if(BACKSPACE_NAV_DISABLED && event.keyCode == 8){event.stopPropagation();}return true;}

    $(document).ready(function(){ 
        if(BACKSPACE_NAV_DISABLED){
            //for IE use keydown, for Mozilla keypress  
            //as described in scr: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scripting/PreventDropdownBackSpace.aspx
            $(document).keypress(fnPreventBackspace);
            $(document).keydown(fnPreventBackspace);

            //Allow Backspace is the following controls 
            var jCtrl = null;
            jCtrl = $('input[type="text"]');
            jCtrl.keypress(fnPreventBackspacePropagation);
            jCtrl.keydown(fnPreventBackspacePropagation);

            jCtrl = $('input[type="password"]');
            jCtrl.keypress(fnPreventBackspacePropagation);
            jCtrl.keydown(fnPreventBackspacePropagation);

            jCtrl = $('textarea');
            jCtrl.keypress(fnPreventBackspacePropagation);
            jCtrl.keydown(fnPreventBackspacePropagation);

            //disable backspace for readonly and disabled
            jCtrl = $('input[type="text"][readonly="readonly"]')
            jCtrl.keypress(fnPreventBackspace);
            jCtrl.keydown(fnPreventBackspace);

            jCtrl = $('input[type="text"][disabled="disabled"]')
            jCtrl.keypress(fnPreventBackspace);
            jCtrl.keydown(fnPreventBackspace);
        }
    }); 

    </script>

这段代码解决了这个问题，至少在IE和Firefox中是这样(我还没有测试过其他浏览器，但如果其他浏览器也存在这个问题，我认为它有合理的工作机会)。

// Prevent the backspace key from navigating back.
$(document).unbind('keydown').bind('keydown', function (event) {
    if (event.keyCode === 8) {
        var doPrevent = true;
        var types = ["text", "password", "file", "search", "email", "number", "date", "color", "datetime", "datetime-local", "month", "range", "search", "tel", "time", "url", "week"];
        var d = $(event.srcElement || event.target);
        var disabled = d.prop("readonly") || d.prop("disabled");
        if (!disabled) {
            if (d[0].isContentEditable) {
                doPrevent = false;
            } else if (d.is("input")) {
                var type = d.attr("type");
                if (type) {
                    type = type.toLowerCase();
                }
                if (types.indexOf(type) > -1) {
                    doPrevent = false;
                }
            } else if (d.is("textarea")) {
                doPrevent = false;
            }
        }
        if (doPrevent) {
            event.preventDefault();
            return false;
        }
    }
});

    document.onkeydown = function (e) {    
        e.stopPropagation();
        if ((e.keyCode==8  ||  e.keyCode==13) &&
            (e.target.tagName != "TEXTAREA") && 
            (e.target.tagName != "INPUT")) { 
            return false;
        }
    };

这里的其他答案已经确定，如果没有允许退格的白名单元素，就不能做到这一点。这种解决方案并不理想，因为白名单不像仅仅是文本区域和文本/密码输入那样简单，而且经常被发现是不完整的，需要更新。

However, since the purpose of suppressing the backspace functionality is merely to prevent users from accidentally losing data, the beforeunload solution is a good one because the modal popup is surprising--modal popups are bad when they are triggered as part of a standard workflow, because the user gets used to dismissing them without reading them, and they are annoying. In this case, the modal popup would only appear as an alternative to a rare and surprising action, and is therefore acceptable.

问题是onbeforeunload模式不能在用户导航离开页面时弹出(例如单击链接或提交表单时)，而且我们不想开始将特定的onbeforeunload条件列入白名单或黑名单。

对于一个通用的解决方案，折衷的理想组合如下:跟踪是否按下了退格，如果是的话，只弹出onbeforeunload模式。换句话说:

function confirmBackspaceNavigations () {
    // http://stackoverflow.com/a/22949859/2407309
    var backspaceIsPressed = false
    $(document).keydown(function(event){
        if (event.which == 8) {
            backspaceIsPressed = true
        }
    })
    $(document).keyup(function(event){
        if (event.which == 8) {
            backspaceIsPressed = false
        }
    })
    $(window).on('beforeunload', function(){
        if (backspaceIsPressed) {
            backspaceIsPressed = false
            return "Are you sure you want to leave this page?"
        }
    })
} // confirmBackspaceNavigations

这已经在IE7+， FireFox, Chrome, Safari和Opera中进行了测试。只需将这个函数放到global.js中，并从任何您不希望用户意外丢失数据的页面调用它。

注意onbeforeunload模式只能被触发一次，所以如果用户再次按下退格键，该模式将不会再次触发。

注意，这不会触发hashchange事件，但是在这种情况下，您可以使用其他技术来防止用户意外丢失数据。

纯javascript版本，适用于所有浏览器:

document.onkeydown = function(e) {stopDefaultBackspaceBehaviour(e);}
document.onkeypress = function(e) {stopDefaultBackspaceBehaviour(e);}

function stopDefaultBackspaceBehaviour(event) {
  var event = event || window.event;
  if (event.keyCode == 8) {
    var elements = "HTML, BODY, TABLE, TBODY, TR, TD, DIV";
    var d = event.srcElement || event.target;
    var regex = new RegExp(d.tagName.toUpperCase());
    if (regex.test(elements)) {
      event.preventDefault ? event.preventDefault() : event.returnValue = false;
    }
  }
}

当然，你可以使用“INPUT, TEXTAREA”和使用“if (!regex.test(elements))”然后。第一个对我来说很好。

使用Dojo toolkit 1.7，这可以在IE 8中工作:

require(["dojo/on", "dojo/keys", "dojo/domReady!"],
function(on, keys) {
    on(document.body,"keydown",function(evt){if(evt.keyCode == keys.BACKSPACE)evt.preventDefault()});
});
