Back Button

[alexanderdring]

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question; does anyone know how to create an intelligent "back" button in XHTML/CSS that actually returns to the previous page on a site rather than a specific link? I'm sure there's a fairly simple piece of javascript but I haven't been able to find anything. I'd really appreciate any help anyone could provide.

Thanks!

Alex.

This should really be in forum216 but try:
<a href="javascript:history.back()">Back</a>

You can't in XHTML/CSS, like you mentioned yourself. You need employ javascript. You could try either:

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">back</a>
or
<a href="javascript:history.back();">back</a>
