Hello Guys,

Can someone help ?

Thanks so much !!!Smilie

Code:
<INPUT TYPE="button"
      VALUE="BACK"
    OnClick="history.go( -1 );return true;">

The server knows little or nothing about the client's browsing history, so really, javascript's the way to go.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
## Name: back.cgi

printf "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"

echo "<a href=\"${HTTP_REFERER:-./}\">BACK</a>"

In the HTML:
Code:
<!--#include virtual="back.cgi" -->
