this is a simple question. trying to redirect a user when they click cancel

[cluce]

I know this is not hard to do. I just am a real newbie to this stuff.  I mostly use php. what would be the JS function to call to redirect a user back to the previous page when they do an onclick on the cancel button. I am using Dreamweaver 8. I know how to call the javascript. I am just not sure how to write it. Any help is appreciated.

hey - im a newbie too. i can help you out - how cool is that. anyway, heres how to redirect:

 

onClick="window.location='http://www.your address.com'" inside the button tag. make sure that you change the button action to "none".

 

happy programming

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

 

This will be the same function as the browser's back button.
