You can't disable the back button. The best you can do is to open a new window with JavaScript and remove that toolbar. But if the page loads in a window with the toolbar you can't disable it.
You also can't disable the keyboard but you can use JavaScript to ignore certain keys from being acted upon. You need to intercept the event and then ignore it.

That doesn't work for the back button since it isn't part of the web page.

The "Back" button belongs to the user, not to you. You have no right to disable it, since it might be the only way the user has to return to the page he came from to get to your page.
I have seen people use such tricks as removing the toolbar or forwarding to a second page. These make me mad at the programmer, because he denies me the opportunity to complete my tree search of a Google request or another website.

The annoyance with the 'Back' button, I fear is not universal. There are cases (read Intranet applications) where the client has requirements for the web application to look like a desktop application, making the removal of toolbars necessary.
BalagurunathanS, the only way to disable the back button is to remove the entire toolbar in the way mentioned by Midimagic in his previous post.

For Intranet applications; it's much easier to control the browser being used to access the page... Open VB6, drop WebBrowser control on form, don't add any buttons that call the control's 'back' event; save; compile; backbutton-neutered IE6. Distribute to everyone onsite.
In any context, including Intranet applications, why should 'back' ever need to be disabled? Just accept it's there, and that it goes back ( to potentially anywhere ); and incorporate that into your plans. Don't overlook it up to the point that it becomes a problem.
