I'm kind of a beginener in Java Scrpit programmation.

When people register in my web page, once they are finished they go back to the main page. I would like them to go back to the page they were BEFORE registering. To do that, you have to tell the browser to go back two times. I don't know how to do that.

To go back one page i use that command:
$urlaa = $HTTP_REFERER -();
print("<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=\"REFRESH\" CONTENT=\"1; URL=$urlaa\">
</head>

How do you do it for two times back?
Thanks

This will only work for uses with javascript enabled. For those without, it will send them to an index page:

<a href="index.php" onclick="history.go(-2); return false;">Go Back</a>

Thank you for your answer. Your script indeed work but it wasn't exactly what i was looking for.

By using this script the user has to click a button before going back two times. Me, I would like the redirect to be automatic after 1 second.

Any idea?

untested:

<script type="text/javascript">
function goBack() {
history.go(-2);
}
setTimout("goBack()",1000);
</script>

Just in case anyone should search for this answer.

I was using the history.go(-1) or history.back() to let my users go back one page. This was working in IE 6 and Opera 8.5 but NOT in Firefox 1.5.

While searching for an answer in this forum, I noticed this thread and return false in this message.

I added the return false; to the onclick event, and now this is working in Firefox too.

Thanks ...
