So, we all surf the internet to watch YouTube videos and Stackoverflow and many more. And we usually click "←" this button to go back to the previous website.

Do you know? You can create the same functionality of "←" this button of browser in Javascript 🔥

Let's create a back button

<button>Go Back</button>

It's time to make it functional ✌️

• Add onclick attribute to the button

onclick="history.back()"

• Here's the final and little code 🙂

<button onclick="history.back()">Go Back</button>

How does this work?

The history.back() method loads the previous URL from the history list. It will only work if the previous page exists.

Try it live by yourself: Live demo (Open this link in this tab only since it will create a previous page 🙂 )
