Hmm... Well, if you use client-side state saving ( or server-side state saving and MyFaces after 1.1.1) you can use that trick above.
If you want to post-back to the server in between, you can write a custom Navigation-Handler and configure that in your faces-config.xml. This navigation-handler would need to store a stack of pages visited somewhere and then just go back if the outcome equals to some predefined string (e.g. "back"). I'm sure somebody can jump in with some source to support you, right? regards, Martin On 1/31/06, tony kerz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i understand there are some far reaching issues with the back button, > with respect to the back button leaving things in a bad state, > but i'm not looking for the back button holy grail (just now). > > my question is simply what would be the best way to get a button > on a jsf page which mimics functionality of browser's back button: > > the equivilent of the ever popular: > > <a href="javascript:history.back()">Back</a> > > ? > > thx... > -- http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces
