Is there a type of code that I can imput into the back
button, so that it knows what the last visited page was?
I'm using the page include option for my top nav bar, and
would like the back button to accomodate all pages.

Thanks,

Lauren

I'm not sure what kind of button you're using, but here's
a link that does the same thing as clicking the browser's
Back button:

<a href="javascript: history.back();">Back</a>

Two things to consider, of course, are:

1. Why do I want to give up screen space for something
that the browser's menu bar provides anyway?

2. Clicking the browser's Back button might cause the
visitor to leave my site. Why would I want to provide
such a link?
