I have a website consisting of 2000 pages and want a “back” command for going back to a recently visited page on that website. I thought that was a very common feature of a lot of websites that have more than one page.

It seems like Javascript is a bad choice, yes. At least, the Javascript command I’m using doesn’t work.

Thank you. No, that command doesn’t work either. I had tried it before:

<button onclick="goBack()">Go Back</button>

<script>
 function goBack() {
     window.history.back();
 }
</script>

These are the other commands I have tried, but which don’t work:

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">←Back</a>

href="javascript:javascript:history.go(-1)">←Back</a>

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)" onMouseOver="self.status=document.referrer;return true">Go Back</a>

<input type="button" value="Previous Page" onclick="goBack()">

<script>
function goBack() {
window.history.back()
}
</script>

I’m continuing this thread, because now I have a similar problem. I’m using the “Hide Pages” plug-in by Peter Coughlin, which allows me to hide pages from the Top Menu. I have now reached 1,275 pages on my website, and new pages that I am adding aren’t turning up neither on the Top Menu nor in the “Hide Pages” register. It seems to me that I have reached a new limit somewhere. I need to add a few hundred pages more and would be happy if someone was able to fix this problem.

I tried to put all the pages I wanted off the top menu in another menu, but it didn’t work. Contacting my host, HostGator, they found out that a limit indeed had been reached for the “max_input_vars” setting for this package’s PHP scripts, and they increased it from 1000 to 5000. So, now it functions, and I am happy!
