how to get history in a WinObj I have made?

[BadOmen]

I have used WinObj=window.open ("http://www.some_page","Holder")

No I want to press a button in an other window and make the Holder windows
history.go(-1) is that possible?
(I'm not using a button... I'm using MS Agent with Voice Command but if the
button thing will work, so will this...)

There is probably another way ... but you could create a page that it
would go forward to with history.go(-2)

I don't realy understand what you meen =(

This is what I have done:
step 1. window A opens window B
step 2. And then window A must make window B:s history go back one stap by
pressing a button on window A or in my case, using a voice command from
window A.

Step 1. is not a problem but step 2. is.

What I mean is create a page called jumpBack.asp ... or html ... I
name all files of mine .asp .. anyway

-- jumpBack.asp --

<script language="javascript">
history.go(-2)
</script>

Then have your button make have your "Holder" window go to
/dir/jumpBack.asp

It would go forward to jumpBack.asp ... jumpBack.asp would make it go
back 2

Like I said, this may not be the best solution, but is probably the
easiest ... without having to have your parent page keep track of the
pages and junk.

Does

WinObj = window.open( 'URL', 'Window_Name' );

...

WinObj.history.go(-1)

not work?

There is still a problem with forward...
It is possible that the forward is pointing to the jumpback.html page and
that page make me go even more back...

It wold be best if I could juste the winObj I created when making the window
B. But i don't think that's possible

I hope someone has a other way of doing this.
But Back works fine your way
