    Here's the scoop:

    JavaScript has its own equivalent of the Back button written into the language. The statements

    onClick = "history.back()"

    and

    onClick = "history.go(-1)"

    both mimic the action of clicking the Back button once.

    I tried out the first (history.back()) and it seems to work. I have not tried it to go from page to page to page; it may not work for that!

    Thanks for letting me research this. I found the answer here:
