navigating frames with back image button

[hablablow]

i have a document with 2 frames named control and main
First question:
In control i have a back image button. When onclick this button the 2
frames should go history -1. Here's my code:
</SCRIPT>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function gum()
{
parent.control.history.go(-1);
parent.main.history.go(-1);
}
//-->
</script>
<TD ALIGN=&quot;LEFT&quot;><A HREF=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;gum()&quot; ....

And of course it doesn't work.
Second question: I have also a clear form image button in control that should clear
all the forms in the other frame main. I don't know yhe proper syntax to do this.

If anyone knows.
Thanks for your incomming answers.

-> which browser are you targetting ?
-> try to alert(parent.control.history) for instance - do you get &quot;undefined&quot; ?
-> (just wondering, don't mind for this, everyone here seems to use <a href=# onclick=javascript ...> when there are many many many other ways not implying LINKS - for example <span onclick=javascript...> is the same, except that you don't end up with links that look like links but are not actual links)
-> to clear the form on say, main frame, supposing you're targetting ie4+ and your form name is formname : top.main.document.formname.reset() does the trick

Iza thanks for ur answers ( for yesterdays questions too )
With the back button stuff in frames i am targeting Ie and netscape 4+ versions.
I removed the script tags above my document and kept only in the body:
A HREF=&quot;#&quot;
ONCLICK=&quot;parent.history.back()&quot;....
This action works perfectly in Ie it reloads back both frames
Nothing happens in Netscape, and that is my problem.
Do you know a proper syntax for Netscape ?
Thanks for your incomming answer.

did you try the &quot;alert&quot; in netscape ? is it saying it finds the frame ?
