alternative to history.back()

[Varun Khanna]

Hi,
I m using history.back() javascript function for implementing "cancel" button functionality in my web page.But it is not working in netscape.
Is there common method to both IE and netscape which can be used without going to server.
Thanks
Varun.

[David O'Meara]

have you tried history.go(-1); ?

[Varun Khanna]

yeah .Even that works only for IE.

The history commands listed here work for netscape 2.2+, therefore there has to be something wrong with your code. I have the feeliong, you are using an onclick or a table cell reference if you are having problems wirh netscape. for testing, use alerts to se if the command is actually being called.
If you can not solve the problem, please post the code or the page location.
