JavaScript
Window History
The
window.history object contains the browsers history.
Window
History
The
window.history object can be written without the window prefix.
To protect
the privacy of the users, there are limitations to how JavaScript can access
this object.
Some
methods:
history.back()
- same as clicking back in the browser
history.forward()
- same as clicking forward in the browser
Window
History Back
The
history.back() method loads the previous URL in the history list.
This is the
same as clicking the Back button in the browser.
Example
Create a
back button on a page:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function
goBack() {
window.history.back()
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input
type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()">
</body>
</html>
The output
of the code above will be:
Window
History Forward
The history
forward() method loads the next URL in the history list.
This is the
same as clicking the Forward button in the browser.
Example
Create a
forward button on a page:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function
goForward() {
window.history.forward()
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input
type="button" value="Forward"
onclick="goForward()">
</body>
</html>
