redirect to last page visited?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I want to make it so when you press any key it will redirect to you the page you last visited, but history.back() doesnt’ work. Anybody know how to do this?

<body onkeyup=”window.location = ‘history.back()'”>

@TJ111Dec 03.2007 — Remove the quotes around the "history.back()", as you are referencing an object, but with quote around it javascript will treat it like a string. The proper way to do this (i think) for full cross-browser support is like this:
<i>
</i>&lt;body onkeyup="window.location.href = window.history.back(1)"&gt;

@dtm32236Dec 03.2007 — I would first make it a function in the head:

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

funtion redirect(){

history.go(-1);

}

</script>

</head>

<body onkeyup="redirect();">

i think that's correct - but I'm terrible with JS, so hopefully that'll work (maybe not though).

Success!
