Is there a javascript code that can link a user to another page besides window.open or the one where it replaces the URL? (I want it so they can click the back button)

well for a back link;
<a href="javascript:history.back(1)">text for back link</a> not sure otherwise

No I mean something like:

<script language=javascript>
function test() {
href("http://javascript.internet.com")
}
</script>

I know the bolded line isn't correct, and thats what I need. Got something like that, thats in the code? I've seen it before.

If you promise not to use this in making a JavaScript dependant page then you can use location.replace() (http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/location.html#1194240).

*pulls out his hair*

rofl, I still don't mean that! I need a Javascript code that will link you to another page, besides location/window.replace...

Anyone have the answer to this? Not unless you give us a lot more information. Unless you explain what exactly it is that you are trying to accomplish we can't figure out what it is that you are going on about.

Ok...

I have a JavaScript that performs a few actions, like an alert. After the alert, I want the script to send them to a new page. But I don't want window.replace because then you can click back, because window.replace replaces the page with the new one, therefore the old page is not in your back history anymore.

Got it? Its like the most simplist script ever and I can't get any help on it :D lol j/k

Not exactly how I was looking for it, but that works. Thanks, Charles.
