<a href="javascript:history.back()">back</a>

I dont think this can be done using HTML alone. You can use javascript for this function.

Try this:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="Button" VALUE="Back"
onClick="history.go(-1)">
</FORM>

The onclick part is the trick. There are a few different ways of doing this in javascript, but this method is cross-browser compatible.

Hope that helps.
