custom "back" button

[Anna]

Hi,

I have several pages, let's say A, B, and C. Amongst other things they all
have a hyperlink to page D. I want to create a back button on page D which
some knows where the visitor came from, page A, B or C and sends him back
there.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Anna

Sure:
<input type=button value=Back
onclick=javascript:history.back()>

Hi again,

Can this be done using a Hover Button component as well?

Thanks,

Anna

You can use this code for every link or onclick-area, but
if you want to use it with a Java Hover-Button I'm not
sure and I've never tried, so ... try it.

You might want to reconsider using Hover buttons.
They are no longer supported in all browsers.
Therefore some folks won't be able to navigate
your site.

Use dhtml image swaps instead.

Thanks, I will do that instead...

Where do I put the "onclick" event though? Sorry, my html knowledge is
limited...

This is the html code that was created when I used the dhtml image swaps to
create my button...

<a
onmouseover="document['fpAnimswapImgFP1'].imgRolln=document['fpAnimswapImgFP
1'].src;document['fpAnimswapImgFP1'].src=document['fpAnimswapImgFP1'].lowsrc
;"
onmouseout="document['fpAnimswapImgFP1'].src=document['fpAnimswapImgFP1'].im
gRolln" href="javascript:void(0)">

<img border="0" src="../Images/back_1.jpg" id="fpAnimswapImgFP1"
name="fpAnimswapImgFP1" dynamicanimation="fpAnimswapImgFP1"
lowsrc="../Images/back_2.jpg" width="50" height="20"></a></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">&nbsp;</p>

Thanks,

Hey, I figured it out! I'm very proud of myself now...

I just changed the href="javascript:void(0)"> part of the code to
href="javascript:history.back()">
