Some users block javascript, so you might want something even more generic try something like this in the click event of your button, etc. onClick= "window.history.back()"

>>Hi,
>>Maybe:

<a href="javascript: history.go(-1)">Back</a>

>>>Can someone tell me the generic command to go "back" in an HTML document? The idea is that the user presses a link that says something like "go back", but the browser reacts as if the user pressed the generic (browser) "back" button. I am not sure whether this requires JavaScript, or what, but I think I have seen something similar.

>Thus, I can use the same generic command in several places. Also, and the main reason I wanted this, is that I can have links from A--->C and from B--->C; if the user takes the first route, the "back" option should return to A, in the other case, to B. This isn't possible with hard-coded links like a href="document_A.html".
