[RESOLVED] [2005] I have a Cancel button that wants to navigate back

I thought this code would make that happen:

Code:

---

  Protected Sub btnCancel_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCancel.Click

        ' Dim script As String = "<script>history.go(-1);</script>"
        ' Page.RegisterStartupScript("backupPage", script)


        ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock( _
            Me.GetType, _
            "GoinBack", _
            "<script type='text/JavaScript'>history.go(-1)</script>")
    End Sub

Nothing is happening. I am not going back, there is no javascript error, it just posts back and stays on the same page. Do you see what's wrong? Thanks.

I'm sorry. I actually just realized I want to call it at the client because why would I post back to the server just to navigate back? I'll try it there.

not sure whats worng with above but i would do this way

in page load event

Code:

---

btnCancel.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:history.go(-1)")

---

That's not working. Not only does it post back, but it is not navigating back. Same as my original problem.

All better:

Code:

---

            btnCancel.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:history.go(-1);return false")

Thanks, riteshjain1982 - as helpful as always :) !

opps i forgot to add return false.

Code:

---

btnCancel.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:history.go(-1);return false")
