I created a button using javascript, which upon hitting would use the history.go(-1) JavaScript function and also pop up a window. hitting the back button on IE already has the built in feature of going back one step into the history, but I also need the pop up to show when a user hits the back button.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks
This is a touchy subject on SO (as it should be). Typically, when a programmer wants to see if the user is clicking the back button or leaving the page, it’s for a malicious purpose. Because I think much better of you, user583227, I’ll get you started in the right direction: How to detect if the user clicked the "back" button
