How can I give the user the facility to go back to the previous page
without having to ask him to press the back button

In code view, where you want the button, insert:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Back" onClick="history.go(-1)">
</FORM>

<p align="center"><button type="button" onclick="history.go(-1)"><font
color="#0000FF">Go Back</font></button>
That's the way I do it.Tom J

<a href="javascript:window.close()">Back</a>

You can change "back" to any label you want.

the code below closes a window; not return to the previous page....and not
what the OP was asking. If only one browser window is open it will close
that browser session.

Or you can use this
<input type="button" value="Go Back"
onclick="history.back()">

I actually use both - not for any real reason, except that in one case I
find onClick="history.go(-2)" useful

I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you?

I just found out that:
<a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)">Back</a> Makes you go back and <a
href="#" onClick="history.go(1)">Forward</a> Makes you go forward.

If these helped you, click on the post that answered your question and at
the bottum
It wil say 'Did this answer your question?' then click yes.
