Hi folks, i got a back button created on my JSP now trying to write a javascript to go back to the previous page, i don't remember quite well but its something gotta do with history dot(.) something
can anybody help me with the syntax to use on this button.

thanks a lot

history.go(-1) ;

If I remember rightly. But you'd get a far more dependable response if you post JavaScript questions in the JavaScript forum.

thanks Paul, i've tried it and no luck... the button is on another frame, does it make a differnt. my function reads...

function BackButton ()
{
history.go(-1)
}

do i need to specify the form where it needs to go to?
maybe something like frmDetails.history.go(-1)

thanks

You need to specify the framename

parent.frameName.history.go(-1);
