Q888 How can I change the location of the browser to a previous entry in the history object, specifying the url rather than the relative location in the history object?

This is possible in JavaScript 1.1 only:

<script language="JavaScript1.1"><!--
history.go('pagename.html')
//--></script>

It revists the most recently visited location contain the string 'pagename.html'.

Apparently, this does not work in Internet Explorer 4.
