History.back doesn't work with IE 6.0

[sweta]

Hi there,

The follwing piece of code works well with IE 5.0 or 4.0..but it doesn't work with IE 6.0.

<a href='' onclick=history.go(-1)>Back to the previous page</a>

none of the follwing either works..
window.history.back
history.back

or any equivalent code.

Please try out with IE 5.0 and 6.0 both..

Let me know if there is an alternative

Thanks,
Sweta

Have you added the end quotes and semicolon at the end?

<a href=&quot;onclick=history.go(-1);&quot;>Back to the previous page</a>

I noticed you had typed TWO single quotes sequentially in your example. Use the double quotes key (while depressing Shift) if possible.

you can also use <a href=&quot;vbscript: history.back&quot;>Go Back</a>
