onClick GoTo URL

I have 'details' pages, which are accessible from various lists, depending
whether they are called from the 'by date' or 'by event' listing. The visitor
has to click the 'Back' arrow at top left to return to the calling page. Is
there a way I could incorporate a onClick behaviour, which will return the
visitor the the calling page, the 'parent'? In the 'behaviours' panel I could
only see that I can only assign a specific URL to the behaviour, which would
not work in my case, as the calling URLs might be different each time the page
is visited..

JFTR: Every browser already has a back button and users know how to use
it. There's hardly a reason to reinvent the wheel, especially since it
relies on JS and would appear as a non-working link to users without JS.

Yep - for sure - but it's what the OP was asking for :-)

Djinn: this is the snippet.. where do I put the line?
<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="4,4,64,21" href="#"
onclick="MM_goToURL('parent','apothecary_summary.h tm');return
document.MM_returnValue"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image1','','pics/closelabel_swap.jpg',1)"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" />
</map>

Michael: Sure, everyone is aware of the button's existence. However, I was
aked 'why do I have to click on the 'Back' arrow, at the top of the browser, to
go back to the previous page?'... This took me back to my former incarnation,
where I used if lastkey().... or inkey() ..do whatever...obviously not
available in DW? or is burried somewhere?

Who asks such stupid questions? ;-)

Hi,

If you'd still like to do it - then it would look something like this,
given those co-ords and onclicks etc.........

<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="4,4,64,21" href="javascript:history.go(-1);"
onclick="MM_goToURL('parent','apothecary_summary.h tm');return
document.MM_returnValue"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image1','','pics/closelabel_swap.jpg',1)"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" />
</map>
