Hi!

I'm looking for a command or a way to go back to the previous page from within VBScript. Sort of the VBScript alternative for "window:history.go(-1)" in JavaScript.

If anybody knows, I'd be very grateful.

It is the same as in JavaScript:

<SCRIPT language=vbscript>
window.history.go -1
</SCRIPT>

So how do I implement it?

I'm in VBScript, and at a certain point (after a certain check fails) I want to go back 1 page, so what do I type?
If I just type "window.history.go -1" or even "response.redirect window.history.go -1" it gives me the following error message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'window'

you can do this in ASP ..

<%
response.redirect request.servervariables("HTTP_REFERER")
%>

you have to put it before the <html></html> tag or you need to put:

response.buffer=true

in the begining of the page.

this will get you back to the page that it came from ..
