return link and document.write in Netscape

[cmotor]

Netscape is not recognizing the javascript:history.go(-1) command in the script below. Does anyone know how to get it to work?

Thanks

function checkform() {
if (isEmpty(document.Returnform.customer_name.value)) {
document.write('<br>Error: The field below was not completed:<p>FIRST AND LAST NAME &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Click here to go back and fix it.</a></p>')
}

Do you mean that when you click on the link that it does not work or that the link is not being written out? The reason I ask is because I wonder if the semicolon is causing javascript to think it is finished. Try escaping the semicolon and see if that works.

function checkform() {
if (isEmpty(document.Returnform.customer_name.value)) {
document.write('<br>Error: The field below was not completed:<p>FIRST AND LAST NAME <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)\;">Click here to go back and fix it.</a></p>')
}

It writes out fine. It's jsut the return link that does not work. I tried to escape the semicolon too.

Here is a link to the page. Click on the image to open the form.

Thanks for the help

Which version of Netscape? It works for me in NS7.0 . I don't have NS4 so I can't test it with that version.

Worked fine for me in NN7 and NN4.7 when I tried it like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<br>Error: The field below was not completed:<p>FIRST AND LAST NAME <a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Click here to go back and fix it.</a></p>');
</script>

I've been testing in NS6. And if it works inNS7 then that's good enough. I'll upgrade.

Thanks guys.
