Window.back() (Method)

A method that mimics the user clicking on the back button.

Availability:

JavaScript - 1.2

Netscape - 4.0

Property/method value type: undefined

JavaScript syntax: N back()

N myWindow.back()

The browser will behave as if the user had clicked on the back button at the top of the window.

Warnings:

If this is executed in a <FRAMESET> contained window, the behavior of the Window.back() method may not always be consistent with the History.back() method. One may simply affect the frame while the other may affect the entire browser window at the top of the frame-set hierarchy.
