Hello,

I am trying to create a hyperlink in a web page that returns the viewer to
the previous page from which they came.

Can anyone help? The back/next text buttons are not the issue, the word back
is in the text body and requires the hyperlink.

Many thanks
Martin
 
Thanx Ronx.

Funny thing, as I was trying some script out I got a 404 error bage which
had the word 'Back' in red text. I copied the hyperlink which gave the script:

javascript:history.back(1)

This works too. Amazing, as I have been puzzeling over this for several
hours haha!

Again many thanks for your prompt and informative response

God bless all

Martin
 
How one creates a 'next' page text link, that will be automatically updated
when the navigation structure changes? Many thanks
 
"Next" implies some sort of sequence of pages, which is not typical in web
sites. Can you clarify as to what your specific requirements are?

You have to manually do this so that you can indicate what the next and previous page is. There is
no way for the navigation structure to determine what should be the next or previous page based on
the navigation structure.

Insert a nav bar and then select nav bar properties - same level

I find FP navigation bars based on navigational structure v. useful. Since
'next' and 'previous' links in the navigational bars get updated
automatically when the order of the same level pages in navigational view is
changed, I was hoping that I could use the same structure in straight
hyperlinks.

In other words, I wanted to insert a hyperlink (but not a full link bar)
that will point to the next page ('next' being determined by navigational
structure order of pages on the same level) that will be updated when the
structure is rearranged. Many thanks.

Not possible, since only the FP nav bars look at the FP Nav structure

Thanks. So there is no access to the Nav structure even programatically?
Failing that, is there a way of including 'Previous/Next' Nav. bar but
formating 'Previous' and 'Next' text as say, left and right arrows or '< |
 
Only by hand coding links on each page to some other page
- the web does not know what is next or prev

The FP nav structure is a design time tool (using FP nav view/bars), not a run time tool

Thanks Stefan,

I realize that nav. bar is a design-time tool, but it so happens that I need
to add new pages frequently and these pages often fall in the middle of
navigational structure (which is fine since the links based on navigation
update themselves accordingly). I was jus hoping that since the navigation
view arrangement must be held somewhere, there would be a programatic access
to such file and I would be able to use it in straight hyperlinks. It looks
like it's not the case. Thanks.
