Hello Misao,

Welcome to WmW. I bet you will like this site.

<a href="javascript:void(history.go(-1))"> </a>

Enjoy!

Cheers, that worked great.

I spoke too soon ....

It seems to work the first time you click on the link, but then it stops working.

It's like Netscape loses it history or something....

I am using this on a frames site, though the frame that I want to go back, is the same frame that I am calling the js from..

I also tried (a href="javascript:parent.content.history.go(-1)") but that only worked the first time as well ...

Ideas?

Oops! Now we need some real help. Thanks for mentioning about frames. Hopefully, some real JavaSript guru will show up with more details or better a solution.

What kind of target was the first call in history? _main, _parent, or may be a custom frame name?

Well, I put some pages togther with just skeleton code on it, in the same format etc (so I could see if it was being affected by posts and stuff), and I still encountered the same problem.

I even tried uninstalling NS 6.1, and installing mozilla instead, and it had the same bug (tried it on another machine as well, and it was reproducable). But strangley enough, I had someone who runs mozilla on a nix machine, and he could not reproduce the behavour. So I'm thinking that it is a windows/ns bug, and it has been fixed in the nix version.

Ah wells, I guess that browser bugs are out of the scope of the system, though it is still annoying, and I would love to know an easy workaround for it.
