Simulate Browser "BACK" button

[harrillj]

Hello,

There are many situations on my site that the user has the option of retunring
to the prior page. Rather than adding text that reads something like "press
the browser back button to return", I would much rather us a button that I add
to a page that when clicked does exactly what the broswer back button does.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The user always has that option...the back button...there really isn't a big
need to reproduce it. But if you want to, you can use javascript that merely
triggers the browser history:
