Shortest Yet    lt button onclick  history go -1    gt Go back lt  button gt    http   jsfiddle net qXrbx   I prefer the  go -number  method as then  for 1 or many  backs  there s only 1 method to use remember update search for  etc   Also  using a  tag for a back button seems more appropriate than tags with names and types
