How to emulate browser back button using javascript [duplicate]

Answer 1

<FORM><INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Go Back" 
ONCLICK="history.go(-1)"></FORM>

Try this code

Answer 2

In JavaScript, it's:

history.go(-1);

or

history.back();

Answer 3

Clicking on button takes browser back

<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Go Back" ONCLICK="history.back()">

Answer 4

I think you can use the History API for browsers.

window.history.back()

This should work.

Answer 5

You can use:

<form>
    <input type="button" value="Zurück" name="back" onClick="javascript:history.back(1)">
</form>

Or within a link:

<a href="javascript:history.back(1)">back</a> 

If you want to go forward afterwards, use history.forward(1), but be aware: this only works if you called back() before!

Answer 6

Just use

history.go(-1);

But you cannot go forward anymore after that (so the Forward button doesn't bring you back to where you were -- i.e., this is not 100% the same as clicking the Back button).
