How to make an HTML back link with JavaScript?
To make an HTML back link with JavaScript, we call history.back when we click on the link.
For instance, we write
<a id="back-link">back</a>
to add a link.
Then we write
const element = document.getElementById("back-link");
element.onclick = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
history.back();
};
to select the link with getElementById.
And then we set its onclick property to a function that calls preventDefault to stop the default link behavior.
Then we call history.back to go back to the previous page.
