User · Answer

javascript history go -1       was used in the older browser IE6  For other browser compatibility try   window history go -1        where -1 represent the number of pages you want to go back  -1 -2   etc  and   return false is required to prevent default event    For example     lt a href     onclick  window history go -1   return false   gt  Link  lt  a gt

Why not get rid of the inline javascript and do something like this instead   Inline javascript is considered bad practice as it is outdated      Notes      Why use addEventListener       addEventListener is the way to register an event listener as specified   in W3C DOM  Its benefits are as follows       It allows adding more than a single handler for an event  This is   particularly useful for DHTML libraries or Mozilla extensions that   need to work well even if other libraries extensions are used  It   gives you finer-grained control of the phase when the listener gets   activated  capturing vs  bubbling  It works on any DOM element  not   just HTML elements     lt a id  back  href  www mypage com  gt  Link  lt  a gt   document getElementById  back   addEventListener  click   window history back  false     On jsfiddle

You should use window history and return a false so that the href is not navigated by the browser   the default behavior      lt a href  www mypage com  onclick  window history go -1   return false   gt  Link  lt  a gt
