window.history.go(-1) not working in iOS HomeScreen App [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try something like:

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

Answer 2

You can debug mobile safari, but unfortunately you need a mac.

If not, try this:

1. Make sure your code is working and no errors on desktop safari;
2. Check if you are actually making the call by adding an alert("history() called") in place of the history(-1) code;
3. Is it in a link that has a default behavour to navigate to another page? If so, you need a event.preventDefault() or at least a return false; after the history() call.
