<a href="#" onclick="history.go(-1); return false;">Go back</a>

If you want to go back more than 1 page, just change the 1 to whatever the number of pages you want to go back is.

No, the "#" is there just to fill space. It doesn't do anything except, since the link doesn't lead to any URL, fill the space where the URL would usually be. You can actually fill it with anything, but the "return false;" in the onclick part of the link makes it dead, so even if there was a URL where the "#" is, the link wouldn't go there.


In other words, you can leave the quotes blank, or you can put whatever you want inbetween, just as long as you have "return false;" in the onclick.

You should be handleing email forms with a server side language, so just use a server side redirect. Back buttons and stuff like that can be handled with java script but when it gets to functionality, do it server side.

A server side language takes the form values, connects to the smtp server, sends them though it, then redirects you to another page. Server side scripting just meants the scripts are executed by the server rather then the browser. The server handles smtp connections, data bases, and outputs html and gets input etc. It is more secure and reliable. Do not use html to send forms because it requires the client to have a mail client and that is not always, or even often the case.
