Simulate the IE backward button

[Mick]

Hi,
Is there a way to simulate the IE backward button behaviour with Asp.Net ?

thks for help.

You can, via Javascript:

history.go(-1);

here is the code I tried... and it doesn't work !!
Response.Write("<script language=javascript>");

Response.Write("history.go(-1);");

Response.Write("</script>");

here is the code I tried... and it doesn't work !!
Response.Write("<script language=javascript>");

Response.Write("history.go(-1);");

Response.Write("</script>");

Try a "history.go(-2)".
You are writing a new page (as far as the browser is concerned),
so a -1 does return you to the previous page AS SEEN FROM THIS NEW page.

NB: usually you can't mix Response.Write() and the usual asp.net output.

If there's another way to do it, I'm ready to change ^^
