history.back problems

[edwinx]

hi,

I got this back button that uses this code:

<button type="button" onclick="history.back();">Back</button>

it worked then it stopped working. what can cause it not to work?

i've had this problem before but couldn't solve it. like my form buttons would sudden stop working.

even if i don't use form buttons it doesn't work but if you press back on my browser it works.

Try this instead:

<input type=button value="Back" onClick="history.go(-1)">

You can replace the (-1) with a different number if for some reason you want to.

nothing, just no effect. my other js functions work though

You don't need javascript to use that particular link. HTML will do the trick

i know but i need to put it into an input button since all the other ones are like that.

There should be a button when you use that code. If you noticed it begins:

<input type=button

I had the same trouble and just used this.

<script language="JavaScript"><!-- 
document.write ("<a href=" +document.referrer+  "><img src=""images/back.gif border=0 width=112 height=31 alt=></a>");
-->
</script>
