....lol posts at same time, "return true" is JS
history.go is JS too.
Using javascript:
<a href = "javascript:history.back()
<a href = "javascript:history.back()
"Can I create a html back button?"
No.
No.
or combining all our suggestions - the canonical
<a href="#" onClick="history.back(); return false">Back</a>
Zwei: No need for form tags and no need for return true
<a href="#" onClick="history.back(); return false">Back</a>
Zwei: No need for form tags and no need for return true
ASKER
The command INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Back" onClick="history.go(-1);;"
you don't need javascript in the code to make it work, sure you have the < at the start of the statement?
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Back" onClick="history.go(-1);;"
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Back" onClick="history.go(-1);;"
And history.go IS javascript

GwynforWeb, code below shows what I'm doing. As you can see, I'm loading the html code within a bash shell script. Anything you can see I'm doing wrong here?
#!/bin/bash
echo Step 1
source "$start.sh"
cat << BROWSER
@{{
<request>
<name> Test 1 </name>
<html remote="$host">
<head>
</script>
</head>
<body >
<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='gostart' method='get' >
<p> <font size='3'> Begin 1:</font></p>
<input type='text' id='command' name='command' value='test.sh' />
<input type='submit' name='action' value='Continue' />
<input type='submit' name='action' value='Cancel' />
<input type='button' onClick='history.go(-1);;' value='Back' />
</form>
</body>
</html>
</request>
@}}
BROWSER
# wait for the user to perform the operation we requested him
read ln
echo "action: " $ln
echo Test 1 Passed

Is there a chance it not working because I don't have javascript in the bash shell script?
If you show the page in a browser, the javascript will work

Problem was with this limited browser that does not support javascript.
