History: back() method

The back() method of the History interface causes the browser to move back one page in the session history.

It has the same effect as calling history.go(-1). If there is no previous page, this method call does nothing.

This method is asynchronous. Add a listener for the popstate event in order to determine when the navigation has completed.

back()

<button id="go-back">Go back!</button>

document.getElementById("go-back").addEventListener("click", () => {
  history.back();
});
