Create 'BACK' button to emulate browser back button

[Pegasus]

Is there a way in Xara to create a 'back' button, doing the same as the browser 'back' button?

Or is that a silly thing to consider anyway?

Actually, that's not silly at all as Covoxer has developed two history buttons. These are part of the tweakset for XWD6 and can be downloaded here.

Yep, this


<input type=button value="Back" onClick="history.go(-1)">


in a placeholder :-)

Great tip.

Do it with a text link or a graphic button and you have no need to mess with placeholders, and on top of that it's in the style of your web page...

That's actually Covoxer's method for the history buttons in his tweakset.

It's a standard javascript event that's been around for many, many years. I applied it to a graphic button using Xara's Web Properties dialog. I'm not overly familiar with the tweakset but you can apply just about any javascript event to a text or graphic. John (covoxer) is a talented programmer and it was good of him to add this into a set up useful add-ons.

I can see how you took my comment to mean something I did not intend. I should have said: "That's actually the method Covoxer used ...." I'm sure he was not the first one to use this script. What I was trying to say is that your approach is the same as Covoxer's.

No offence intended and none took, Boy
