Code to navigate browser back a page 1

[thomsons]

Simple question from a newbie

PAGE1.ASP contains the window.open code for opening the web page PAGE2.ASP

Because PAGE2.ASP opens in a new pop-up window it leaves PAGE1.ASP still open but its blank as there is no other code in PAGE1.ASP.

What I would like to do is to use code to get PAGE1.ASP to go back one page (same as clicking the BACK button on the toolbar).

Any advice on the best way to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Something like this from within your popup window should work:

window.opener.history.back();

Hope this helps,
Dan

Cheers Dan,

The code I got to work was window.history.back() but you got me in the right direction.
