Hi Everyone: How do you set up a page without hyperlinks so that, when it is
closed out, it goes back to the previous page?

Thanks much and have a GREAT day ; ) qv

How would a user indicated they want to leave this page, if you do not provide them with a link to
click?

If you close the browser, how is it going to go back?
With a link like that I would have it open in a new browser window, so when
it's closed, the original is still there.

Hi Thomas:

Thanks for replying -- the website page I am working on has a long list of
different people, I want to have a separate descriptive page for each person.
Instead of having a link back to previous page, wanted the client to go back
to the page with all personnel in case.

In other software programs, you can do this by clicking on 'open in same
page', but can't find this feature in FrontPage. qv

Don't you need a link like:

<a href#" onclick="history.go(-1);">Go back</a>

??

If, as Dave says, you open it in a new window, there is nothing to go
back to in the new window. When you close it, the original window is
still there, which is effectively taking the user "back" to the
original page.

The only thing I would suggest is to add a "close this window" link to
that new window so the viewer realizes that by closing it they are
back where they started.

In code view: <a href="javascript:window.close();">CLOSE THIS
