Q902 Is there anyway were both Netscape Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 4 can send the user to a specified page from the back button in the browser and not the previous history of the back button?
You are here: irt.org | FAQ | JavaScript | History | Q902 [ previous next ]
JavaScript 1.2 allows a partial string to be specified as a parameter in the history objects back method, which will go back to the last url loaded which contains the partial string:
<script language="JavaScript1.2"><!--
history.back('irt.org');
//--></script> |
Which would go back to the last entry in the history object that contains irt.org.
You can provide your own back button:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function myBack() {
history.go(-1);
}
//--></script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2"><!--
function myBack() {
history.back('irt.org');
}
//--></script>
<form>
<input type="button" value="back" onClick="myBack()">
</form> |
Apparently, none of this works in Internet Explorer 4.
