    making a back button

    Hi,

    I have a graphic with a rollover for site navigation on each page. I
    put the page to go back to in the rollover javascript.

    My question is, is it possible to put in some code that will refer the
    visitor back to whatever page they came from rather than one I
    specify?

    The rollover is combined with a tooltip script to make matters fun
    (below). However, I'm quite happy to lose the tooltip to have the link
    perform as a back button.

    Thanks

    David

    <a href="../index.asp"
    onmouseover="do cument.images['link1'].src=img2.src;
    showtip(this,ev ent,'Back to home page');"
    onmouseout="doc ument.images['link1'].src=img1.src; hidetip()";><im g
    src="bhome.gif" name="link1" border=0></a>

              why not:

              <a href="../index.asp" onclick="histor y.go(-1);">
              <img
              src="bhome.gif" border="0"
              onmouseover="th is.src=img2.src ;showtip(this,e vent,'Back to home page');"
              onmouseout="thi s.src=img1.src; hidetip();"
              />
              </a>

              - The href is only used if javascript is not available
              - mind the spelling of javascript
              - javascript is default in onclick
              - ";> is wrong, should be ;">
              - if img1.src is 'bhome.gif' why not generalize to:

              onmouseover="th is.old=this.src ;this.src=img2. src;
              showtip(this,ev ent,'Back to home page');"
              onmouseout="thi s.src=this.old; hidetip();"
