FP2002 question

How do I add a "back" navigation link on my pages without resorting to
Javascript? I do not use shared borders or FP generated nav bars on any of
my pages. Can this be done or must I start over with shared borders? I've
tried reading the FPonline help but this is one confusing topic!

Without using js? Can't be done. Why not use js?

I can't see what shared borders has to do with this?

JavaScript is no big deal!

Try this
<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="history.go(-1)">

You're right- js is no big deal and I already know how to do it.

Let me elaborate. I've been playing around with MS Commerce Manager. This is
their secure shopping cart service. Say I have a "buy" link next to a
product that is shown on a page that's 5 pages deep into my site. I click on
"buy" and get immediately taken to MS's secure server where I see my cart
and the item I just bought. All is well. I click on continue shopping and go
back to the product page. Now the problem- I then click the browser "Back"
button and wham, I'm back to the shopping cart and stuck in a loop. There is
no way to move back up in my site using the browser "Back" button and MS
tech support says do NOT use js to make a "back" link.

Then you want the button to take you where?

Back to the 4th page- not back to the shopping cart. Going back to the
shopping cart seems to me like clicking on "forward", not "back".

OR the button could take them to

<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="history.go(-3)">

Witch would take them to (not the page they were on and not the cart "thats
2" but the -3 takes them to the page they were on before the page of the
product )

Just a thought

Another thought...

If you are using a data driven site just make the link to the selection page
for the products.
Sometimes the simple approach is the best.
