Go back where I came from

Peter

When user Clicks on the Close button on the main form I would like to go back where the user came from. If my form is the first page since IE was opened I would like to go to the specific website. Is that possible?

Thanks

To determine if there is history exists ,Checkout Request.UrlRefe rrer

code would be like ,

if (Request.UrlRef errer == null )
//add javascript to the close button to navigate to "specific page"
else
//add javascript to the close button to do history.go(-1);

What version of ASP.NET are you using?
The answer Sreejith tried to give is incorrect.

I'm sorry, I see I failed to explain why I thought Sreejith was wrong.
Do you want to go back only one page or back to the homepage of the website?

Sorry for the interrupting.

Hi Peter,

I think the Request.UrlRefe rer or javascript window.history. go(-1) all
make sense. However, Request.UrlRefe rer will contains the original page's
location (it's a standard http header ..), however, this is not always set
by the cilent browser. And as for window.history. go(-1) , this script will
make the clientside browser go back one steps from the browser's history
list(just like when we hit the "back" button on browser...). The problem
of history.go(-1) is that when we have performed some post back on the
form, the postback version of the page will also be added into the history
list , so go(-1) one steps may not meet the requirements. So if there is
postback on the page, we may have to record this , (make a post back count
stored in viewstate...) and so that we can put the count in the history.go(
-count) as parameter...

Thanks,

Steven Cheng
