Add a BACK button to an EZ Page?

[thelawman]

I thought I could add the following to the bottom of an EZ page I made to get a back button, but all it shows is ’; ?>

<div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

Any ideas on how to add the 'back' button to an EZ page?

Thanks!

It's easier to add a HTML expression in EZPages, because their content is stored in the database and is parsed into the page AFTER the rest of the php compiles it. (There is a work-around, but its complex.)

In your EZPAGE editor screen, toggle to HTML (page code) mode, and put this at the bottom.

If you go a step further and encase it in a <DIV> with an ID, then you can style it in the stylesheet.

<FORM>
<INPUT type="button" value="Click here to go back" onClick="history.back()">
</FORM>

<div id="myBackButton">
<FORM>
<INPUT type="button" value="Click here to go back" onClick="history.back()">
</FORM> 
</div>

history.go(-1) or history.go(1)
This allows you to determine how far forward or back to take the viewer. Use a minus sign and a number to go back, or just a number to go forward.

Thank you for your response.

Your method does indeed provide a "Back" button however, what I was wanting to be able to use my button_back.gif so it would match the rest of the pages.

So I ended up doing the following which seems to work.

<IMG SRC="/includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/buttons/english/button_back.gif" style="cursor: pointer;cursor:hand" ALT="Back" onclick="history.go(-1)" name="Back" value="Back">

Thanks again for your suggestion and time.

I am not getting the Alt tag with your code above.

Nice clean site, looks sharp..

Thank you!

I added title="Back" and am getting the desired effect.
