So, we all surf the internet to watch YouTube videos and Stackoverflow and many more. And we usually click "←" this button to go back to the previous website.
Do you know?
You can create the same functionality of "←" this button of browser in Javascript 🔥
Let's create a back button
<button>Go Back</button>
It's time to make it functional ✌️
- Add
onclick
attribute to the button
onclick="history.back()"
- Here's the final and little code 🙂
<button onclick="history.back()">Go Back</button>
How does this work?
The history.back()
method loads the previous URL from the history list. It will only work if the previous page exists.
Try it live by yourself: Live demo (Open this link in this tab only since it will create a previous page 🙂 )
