Oh, i see, but how do i...

 

Add an attribute to an html button .... OnClick="javascript:history.back()"

 

Was posted by Papa but changed

 

do i create a web forms button or an html button on the form?

Where is the above code assigned to the button once i have created it? Within the HTML page code, within the VB code for the form?

 

thanks.

 

Papa

 

 

After some clutching of straws and other such things i managed to get this to work. I had to create a HTML button on my form, then convert it to a server control (right click to convert) and then on the page load, within the vb/js of the page i had this code...

 

cmdBackButton.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "javascript:history.back()")

 

cheers,

 

papa.
