Basic Javascript Navigation Function

[fsnyder]

I have an HTML page that uses javascript to open a Java applet in a full sized new window. That's all it does. After the new window opens, I would like the parent window to go back to the previous URL.

Is there a JavaScript function that accomplishes the same thing as the browser back button ?

Yup.

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

Hope this helps

Thanks, Glen

I got this to work using the history object :

window.history.go(-1);
