Using [removed] How to create a 'Go Back' link that takes the user to a link if there's no history for the tab or window?

Question

EDIT-2: None of the answers seem to work. Not even the one I previously marked as the answer of this question. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

check window.history.length or simply, history.length

EDIT: some browsers start their history with 0, others with 1. adjust accordingly.

if it has a value of 1, it means it's the first page in that window/tab - then you can have JS redirect you.
