I am asking this question from the stand point of a web developer. I found out from this site that a “reset” button on a form page is mostly redundant. I would like to know whether it is the same for a “go back to previous page” link since all browsers have a back button.
<a href='previous-page'>Back</a>
Thanks.
Such a thing is rarely seen except on old sites where you navigate through a series of forms. The link on the page would avoid form resubmission. Usually there would also be some explanation of why you are supposed to click the link instead of the built-in button.
Current best practices obviate the need and it would now be an anachronism.
Some sites have static links labeled “back” and leading to the homepage or other index page. That’s just a case of mislabeling, or extreme shortsightedness.
