Button Help

[Mekhu]

Hey guys.

I am doing a site for my dads friends and he wants a couple of buttons to do things like the IE and Netscape back/forward buttons do...any clue how I do this?

Basically so someone could hit a back button (image) and go back as if they hit the back button on the browser.

Thanks,

Mekhu

I think this is right


<FORM>
<INPUT type="button" onClick="JavaScript:history.forward()" value="forward">
<INPUT type="button" onClick="JavaScrit:history.back()"value="back">
</FORM>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
if(document.all){
document.write('<style type="text/css">');
document.write('input { background-color: gray; border: #000000; border-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000}');

308holes... just wondering, why do you like coding HTML in JavaScript so much? :confused: There really isn't a need to complicate simple things.. and what if the visitor disabled JavaScript?

[308holes]

because I like javascript and i dont know any other ways i have only been doing this for about 4month may be more :biggrin2:

[LeX]

You don't know other ways of doing it?!!?! :eek:

Your original code
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
if(document.all){
document.write('<style type="text/css">');
document.write('input { background-color: gray; border: #000000; border-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000}');
document.write('</style>');
}
//-->
</script>


Your code simplified
<style type="text/css">
input {
background-color: #123456;
border: #123456 solid 1px;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 14px;
color: #123456;
}
</style>


Get it now? All those document.write if elseif ---- were completely uneccessary.

Newbies writing their pages totally in JavaScript? That was something!
You guys will find HTML very easy!:biggrin2:

[Mekhu]

lol....

I wouldn't really call myself a newbie.

Thing is, I can only really use jscript because most of the sites I do are favors and those people are to damn cheap to pay for a host that can support SSI, CGI, etc.
