This doesn't get much simpler but... here we go. I am new to JavaScript, so I am trying something very simple.

I have created an asp.net button object and added the onclick attribute to it. The JavaScript is very simple "History.back()" and that should take you back to the previous page in the browser's history. Unfortunately I get an error: "Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'History' is undefined".

I have tried this same command using a simple HTML object and specifying the language for the object as "javascript".

What am I doing wrong here?

protected override void AddAttributesToRender(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
	base.AddAttributesToRender (writer);
	writer.AddAttribute("onclick", "History.back();");
}
