    Back Button On Extended Info Page

    My Extended Info Pages are set to ¨open in the same window¨. I want to put a ¨Back Button¨ on these Extended Info Pages instead of the user having to use the Browser's Back Button. I have created a new layout based on the ¨Includes Add To Cart Button¨ that I want to use for this requirement. My initial thoughts are to use a variable - does one exist for the job? What is the best solution to this requirement?

    Have you checked the list of variables, there is sure to be one already made for you in there?

      Possible solution?

      Apologies if I'm misunderstanding the question but this is what I've done.

      Try this link.

      Click on any of the products. This will take you to the extended info page which opens in the same window. In the Extended Info Layout I've included a graphic with a simple javascript hyper link:

      Code:
      javascript:history.go(-1)
      Is this what you mean?

      ADDITIONAL:

      I have found a variable that also may work:

      Code:
      <actinic:variable name="BackPageURL" />
      I found this when inserting a variable in the Layout Code of the Design tab.

        Thanks Lee and Duncan.

        With some trial and error, I found that the variable that works best is
        'SectionURL', inserted in an anchor tab.

        The javascript looks like a 'cool' solution. Is this javascript one of Actinics?

        The reason I raised this issue in the first place is because of so many threads about problems with 'Extended Info Pages'. I wanted to find out if their are any hidden problems with what should be simple.

          If that works for you then cool, i would have thought a variable which takes you back one step would be far better personally. This variable would do exactly as the back button does on your browser and the same as the javascript above and is already included in actinic, so all you have to do is use the variable. Isn't there a backurl or something similar? sure ive seen something like that.
