Hello,

My web site is:



My first folder is and so I

use this code to return to it: [

document.URL='index.html' ].

Now I go to a "NEW" folder using this code:

onclick="document.URL='base1/english.html' and I go to the page, (right)


but now I want to return from file "base1/english.html back

to the first file
What is the code on the cmd button "Return" to go back to:

to the first file

Why not try pressing the "Back" button in your browser?

Seriously though, I think what you're looking for is a History GoBack function... used with JavaScript.

Here's the code.

Code:
<a href=&quot;javascript:history.go(-1)&quot;>
LINK TEXT GOES HERE
Code:
</a>

xWastedMindx,

I owe you a star... it works super but can I make it like a button? Again, thank you very much.

Yup. use this code.

<form>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Go Back&quot; onClick=&quot;javascript:history.go(-1)&quot;>
</form>

I did forget to add.. this method is not Full Proof though. If the end user has JavaScript turned off, it will not work.

So then what you could do is just create a regular HREF link pointing back to the original page.

<a href=&quot;yoursite.com/index.html&quot;>go back</a>

Hello xWastedMindx,

The dummy cmd button looks and works super. I must

say it works super. Again you deserve that big star.
