Hi,

history.go(0) refreshes the page. This is a necessary code for anyone who builds dynamic selection lists (or other fields that require resizing) and doesn't want NN to mess up the re-display. Generally, I fill the selection list and then:

if (Netscape) // or somesuch
history.go(0);

You can also use history.go(x). The history.back() & forward() methods seems to be too problematic and undependable.

javascript:history.go(-1) takes you back ... and history.go(1) takes you forward (assuming you were there before, if you know what I mean)

and history.go(-x) takes you back x pages

I would kind of like to know all the history commands. Anyway, I have always seen those with a -1 in the parenthesis, but they probably work without it. The last one with document.history.back() doesn't work. Anyway, here is what I tried and they all worked:
