I'm trying to incorporate the so called "real back button" using the following command:

<a href="<!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER" -->">Back</a>

it's not working ;(

I think I've been looking at it too long...is there something wrong with this code?

I thought it may have been my version of IIS/ASP..but I uploaded a test page to the server and it's still not working.....

Suzy UK - I am never 100% sure of anything but I think you may have a problem using that as sometimes the browser will not give away the referrer.

It would be easier to use java :

<a href="javascript:history.back()" onMouseOver="self.status='Back'; return true;">Go Back</a>
