What is the coding for the "BACK" command

When a person goes from page to page on the website, they can use the "back" command on the top left of the screen. I would like to put a "back" button on my webpage, but I haven't been able to find the coding that would do that. So far, when I look at other people's websites, the coding for the BACK button is actually hard coding to take a person back to a specific webpage. I'm looking for a generic code to move a person back to their previous page.

Any ideas?

You use javascript and a link :D (not sure if theres a way without javascript)


<a href="javascript:history.back()">Back!</a>


I beleive that isi what it is, or it is something very close. (I havent been coding in Javascript for about 6 months-1 year now, so me isnt very sure :D)

javascript:history.go(-1)

or history.back()

Thanks for the help. This is what I was looking for.
