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;
        }
    }
});

对于任何感兴趣的人，我把一个jQuery插件放在一起，它包含了toolman的(加上@MaffooClock/@cdmckay的评论)和@Vladimir Kornea的想法。

用法:

//# Disable backspace on .disabled/.readOnly fields for the whole document
$(document).disableBackspaceNavigation();

//# Disable backspace on .disabled/.readOnly fields under FORMs
$('FORM').disableBackspaceNavigation();

//# Disable backspace on .disabled/.readOnly fields under #myForm
$('#myForm').disableBackspaceNavigation();

//# Disable backspace on .disabled/.readOnly fields for the whole document with confirmation
$(document).disableBackspaceNavigation(true);

//# Disable backspace on .disabled/.readOnly fields for the whole document with all options
$(document).disableBackspaceNavigation({
    confirm: true,
    confirmString: "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?",
    excludeSelector: "input, select, textarea, [contenteditable='true']",
    includeSelector: ":checkbox, :radio, :submit"
});

插件:

//# Disables backspace initiated navigation, optionally with a confirm dialog
//#     From: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1495219/how-can-i-prevent-the-backspace-key-from-navigating-back
$.fn.disableBackspaceNavigation = function (vOptions) {
    var bBackspaceWasPressed = false,
        o = $.extend({
            confirm: (vOptions === true),   //# If the caller passed in `true` rather than an Object, default .confirm accordingly,
            confirmString: "Are you sure you want to leave this page?",
            excludeSelector: "input, select, textarea, [contenteditable='true']",
            includeSelector: ":checkbox, :radio, :submit"
        }, vOptions)
    ;

    //# If we are supposed to use the bConfirmDialog, hook the beforeunload event
    if (o.confirm) {
        $(window).on('beforeunload', function () {
            if (bBackspaceWasPressed) {
                bBackspaceWasPressed = false;
                return o.confirmString;
            }
        });
    }

    //# Traverse the passed elements, then return them to the caller (enables chainability)
    return this.each(function () {
        //# Disable backspace on disabled/readonly fields
        $(this).bind("keydown keypress", function (e) {
            var $target = $(e.target /*|| e.srcElement*/);

            //# If the backspace was pressed
            if (e.which === 8 /*|| e.keyCode === 8*/) {
                bBackspaceWasPressed = true;

                //# If we are not using the bConfirmDialog and this is not a typeable input (or a non-typeable input, or is .disabled or is .readOnly), .preventDefault
                if (!o.confirm && (
                    !$target.is(o.excludeSelector) ||
                    $target.is(o.includeSelector) ||
                    e.target.disabled ||
                    e.target.readOnly
                )) {
                    e.preventDefault();
                }
            }
        });
    });
}; //# $.fn.disableBackspaceNavigation

我创建了一个NPM项目，使用了目前被接受的(erikkallen)的干净版本

它使用了基本相同的原理，但是:

        element.addEventListener(type, handler, false);
    } else if (element.attachEvent) {

function disabler(event) {
    if (event.keyCode === Backspace) {
        var node = event.srcElement || event.target;

        if ( isActiveFormItem(node) ) {
            // Do nothing
        }
        // But in any other cases we prevent the default behavior that triggers a browser backward navigation
        else {
            event.preventDefault();
        }
    }
}


/**
 * By default the browser issues a back nav when the focus is not on a form input / textarea
 * But users often press back without focus, and they loose all their form data :(
 *
 * Use this if you want the backspace to never trigger a browser back
 */
exports.disable = function(el) {
    addHandler(el || document,"keydown",disabler);
};

/**
 * Reenable the browser backs
 */
exports.enable = function(el) {
    removeHandler(el || document,"keydown",disabler);
};

为了稍微详细说明@erikkallen的精彩回答，这里有一个允许所有基于键盘的输入类型的函数，包括HTML5中引入的那些:

$(document).unbind('keydown').bind('keydown', function (event) {
    var doPrevent = false;
    var INPUTTYPES = [
        "text", "password", "file", "date", "datetime", "datetime-local",
        "month", "week", "time", "email", "number", "range", "search", "tel",
        "url"];
    var TEXTRE = new RegExp("^" + INPUTTYPES.join("|") + "$", "i");
    if (event.keyCode === 8) {
        var d = event.srcElement || event.target;
        if ((d.tagName.toUpperCase() === 'INPUT' && d.type.match(TEXTRE)) ||
             d.tagName.toUpperCase() === 'TEXTAREA') {
            doPrevent = d.readOnly || d.disabled;
        } else {
            doPrevent = true;
        }
    }
    if (doPrevent) {
        event.preventDefault();
    }
});

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

我很难找到一个非jquery的答案。谢谢斯塔斯让我走上赛道。

Chrome:如果你不需要跨浏览器支持，你可以使用黑名单，而不是白名单。这个纯JS版本可以在Chrome中运行，但不能在IE中运行。不确定FF。

在Chrome(版本。36, 2014年年中)，按键不是在输入或可满足的元素似乎是针对<BODY>。这使得使用黑名单成为可能，我更喜欢使用白名单。IE使用最后一次点击目标-所以它可能是一个div或其他任何东西。这使得这个在IE中毫无用处。

window.onkeydown = function(event) {
    if (event.keyCode == 8) {
    //alert(event.target.tagName); //if you want to see how chrome handles keypresses not on an editable element
        if (event.target.tagName == 'BODY') {
            //alert("Prevented Navigation");
            event.preventDefault();
        }
    }
}  

跨浏览器:对于纯javascript，我发现Stas的答案是最好的。增加一个条件检查contentteditable使它为我工作*:

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 (d.contentEditable != 'true') { //it's not REALLY true, checking the boolean value (!== true) always passes, so we can use != 'true' rather than !== true/
            if (regex.test(elements)) {
                event.preventDefault ? event.preventDefault() : event.returnValue = false;
            }
        }
    }
}

*注意ie [edit: and Spartan/TechPreview]有一个“特性”，使与表相关的元素不可编辑。如果你点击其中一个，然后按退格键，它会导航回来。如果你没有editable <td>s，这不是一个问题。
