Using JavaScript you can go back or forward in the browser’s navigation history. Most of the time you want to go back one page by clicking a link in the page. For doing that, use the following code:
<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Go back</a> |
It’s easy to figure out that to go back more pages in history, you use a different negative number (-2, -3, -4, etc.). To go forward you use a positive number (1, 2, 3, etc.); in the example below we go one page forward in the browser’s history:
<a href="javascript:history.go(1)">Go forward</a> |
