Hello,<br />
<br />
I've got this that takes the user to the previous page using in image as a back button - <br />
<br />
<img src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"images/back.gif" onClick="history.go(-1)"><br />
<br />
How do I get the same thing to work but using 'back' as text?<br />
<br />
Cheers<!--content-->Here you go ashers. Fairly simple however i would reccomend not using JavaScript as an essential part of your navigation. Anyway here is the code. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"javascript:history.back()">back </a><br />
<br />
<br />
Hope that helps:<br />
Best Wishes, <br />

Also since this link will only work for JavaScript enabled browsers it shold be hidden from non-JavaScript enabled browsers so as not to cause confusion.<script type="text/javascript"><!--<br />
document.write('<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#" onclick="history.back()">back</a>');<br />
