No History - On One Link Only

[DonP]

I have a "Top" button at the bottom of my page, which is simply a little hyperlinked image to take people back to teh top without the need to scroll. Is there a way to make it NOT save history when clicked but to otyherwise still work? Otherwise, the "Previous Page" JavaScript history button at the top just goes back to the bottom. Thanks!

you had :
<a href=&quot;#topofthepage&quot;>link</a>

replace it with :
<a href=&quot;javascript:this.document.location.history.replace('#topofthepage')&quot;>link</a>

as history.replace(url) actually replaces the previous entry in the history list (instead of adding a new entry)

Thanks! But when I replace my existing line with <a href=&quot;javascript:this.document.location.history.replace('#TOP')&quot;>link</a>, I get a JavaScript error when selecting the link: &quot;this.document.location.history&quot; is null or not an object.&quot; Is there a typo here?

sorry i don't have no time to go to devedge or msdn, so i suugest you go and quickly check for the correct syntax - it might be document.location.replace('url') tho .... the keyword is replace ... also, as it replaces the current entry, you have to set it to the PREVIOUS link :
<a href=&quot;location.replace('page1')&quot;>link1</a>
<a href=&quot;location='page2'&quot;>link2</a>
<a href=&quot;location.replace('page3')&quot;>link3</a>
if you click all the liks, the history list will be :
page1 (previous entry was replaced) and page3 (as page2 was added with link2 but replaced by page3 with link3)
