The Browser History
The
window.history
property can be used to access information about any previously
visited pages in the current browser session. Avoid confusing this with the new HTML5 His-
tory API.
[2]
The
window.history.length
property shows how many pages have been visited be-
fore arriving at the current page.
The
window.history.go()
method can be used to go to a specific page, where 0 is the
current page:
window.history.go(1); // goes forward 1 page
window.history.go(0); // reloads the current page
window.history.go(-1); // goes back 3 pages
There are also the
window.history.forward()
and
window.history.back()
methods that can be used to navigate forwards and backwards by one page respectively, just
like using the browser's forward and back buttons.
