Answer 1

For going back to previous page using Anchor Tag , below are 2 working methods and out of them 1st one is faster and have one great advantage in going back to previous page.

I have tried both methods.

1)

Go Back

Above method (1) works great if you have clicked on a link and opened link in a New Tab in current browser window.

2)

Go Back

Above method (2) only works ok if you have clicked on a link and opened link in a Current Tab in current browser window.

It will not work if you have open link in New Tab. Here history.back() will not work if link is opened in New Tab of web browser.
