if you don't want to use javascript, you can always use: &lt;a href=&quot;previouspageurl.html<wbr />&quot;&gt;Go Back to your previous page&lt;/a&gt;; which is what i use.<br />
<br />
previouspageurl.html being the page they were on before clicking the link to get to where they are now.<br />
if you wanted something that would take them back to a search engine or something, the javascript code would better suit your needs.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
without writing something in script form - is there an href i can write that takes a user back to the previous page they were on - kind of like the back button on a browser does?<br />

i am hoping to use just html code to do this.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
