onClick="history.back()

Hello,

We change our server and before this code was ok:

<a href="#" onClick="history.back()">Retour</a>

...but on the new server, it doesn't work anymore?? We come back, see
the last page and return again to the page witn the code
"history.back".

I have to change this code or something on the server??

Thanks, pascal

should be avoided for a number of reasons:

* It is a link to the top of the page. href="#" is not a sensible fall
back should JS fail
* It depends on JavaScript
* The user already has a back button, it is generally a bad idea to
waste space with a UI that duplicates a function built into the
browser but with a UI the user doesn't recognise.
* Links go forward. You have something that looks like a link, but
doesn't act like it.

Just remove it and let the user use their back button, or backspace
key, or Alt+Left Arrow, or Right Click and pick Back, or ...

elia a écrit :Ça c'est du code écrit dans un fichier html, avec une action JavaScript
au clic sur le lien qui demande *coté client* que le brouteur remonte
dans son historique. Ça ne devrait pas à voir avec le serveur ?!

Une variante :

<a href="#" onclick="history.go(-1)">Retour</a>
Curious ... ? !
May we see ?
Are these pages displayed in a popup ?
Does that arrise with any browser ?
Il n'y a certainement pas ce code sur le serveur !
Ask to a group speaking of server
