I'm creating a page, and I came up with an idea on the contact's page, a link that return's then to the earlier page.

I know this can be done using onclick and history.go(-1).

I apoligise for any error's in my post and apreciate any help.

try

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Go Back</a>

and if you want to make it go forward:

<a href="javascript:history.go(+1)">Go Forward</a>

heres the javascript equivalent to the previous if ya want:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<a href=\"javascript:history.go(-1)\">"+"Go Back"+"</a>")
</script>

and for going forward, make the "-1" into "+1"

thank's.

I am stuck on function's so would you mind helping me with this question?

what are the () for after a function and where do I put what the function is to do?
One last question, how do I call the function when I've created it?

youre lucky, youre in good hands;)

in the <HEAD> section:

<script type="text/javascript">
function back()
{
location="javascript:history.go(-1)"
}
</script>

and then, in your <BODY> section:

<a onClick="back()">Go Back</a>

or you can use it with a button:

<form><input type="button" value="Go Back" onClick="back()"></form>

or anything else
you may also call the script onMouseover, onDblClick, onMouseDown, onLoad, onUnload, etc...

well....when you get into more advanced scripts, you will be insterting text, functions, variables, etc within the ()'s...

but for this particular script, you do not need to worry bout it
but, if you want, i can give you an example....?

an example would be apreciated.

I am planning a game that will need the if's and prompt's to be on a loop so I must run the same function repetedly.

That's why I want all this help.

im still learning as well, but heres one example given to me by my "friend" pyro.....

.......<script type="text/javascript">
function show(txt) {
obj = document.getElementById(txt);
obj.style.display == "block" ? obj.style.display = "none" : obj.style.display = "block"; // {
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form><input type="button" onclick="show('name')" value="Show It"></form>
<div id="name" style="display:none">Hello World!"</div>.......

this code demonstrates how to change style properties by ID....

when the button is clicked, the div with the id of "name" appears.

notice the relationship between the div ID and the text within the ()'s.....:

..... onclick="show('name')" .....
.....<div id="name".......

now, before i help you on if's and while's and stuff of the sort, do you have any questions?
