javascript:history detection

[Jake]

Im using some custom javascript:hist ory.forward() &
javascript:hist ory.back() image buttons on my application.

If there is no back or forward history, I would like to display a
dimmed(disabled look) image.

Is there a way to detect if there is no history in iether direction?

Thanks!

Why are you attempting to duplicate what is already built into the browser?

The browser already does that.

Because the application runs in a browser window with only the title and
status bars (no toolbar)

If the browser can do it - why cant it be done with javascript?

The browser has access to lots of information that isn't available
to Javascript.

The browser is a trusted application that has to know (and can't
avoid knowing). On the other hand, code downloaded over the
internet should not be able to find out what, if anything, has
been going on in the same window.

Reconsider allowing access to the toolbar.
