Re: History list
I would suggest using an array and the ArrayDeleteAt(array, position) ArrayAppend(array, value) so if you have a var session.history as you add a values use ArrayAppend(session.history, value) and if the array is over 5 entries use ArrayDeleteAt(session.history,1) Justin MacCarthy - Original Message - From: "Parker, Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 11, 2000 7:30 AM Subject: RE: History list > Thanks Jon - didn't consider cookies and haven't used them before.

The history function in JavaScript doesn't appear to > provide this info. Seeing as the history object in JavaScript is an array, you can refer to any of the entries in it - BUT, it calls them all by URL, it's only the browser that calls them by title The only way I can think of getting the titles is to run an (ugly) loop that briefly opens another window for that URL, grabs the title, then closes that window - this would mean loads of windows flicking into existance, then closing immediately. This would work, but it wouldn't be quick if the server connection was slow, oh, and did I mention it would be ugly?

Re: History list
What about setting cookies? Use five cookies named LocationX and on each page loop through them all and append the current page and remove the oldest. Then loop through the cookies and print the links.
