If you have been working for a week on it then share the code you have tried and explain what happens when you run it

A back button is not anything special. All buttons are the same, they only do what your code tells them to do. So whatever you want this button to do you need to write the code for it.

And since you have tagged this Javascript, Java, Python and HTML, but given no details, it is impossible for us to guess what you are trying to do. Please use the Improve question link above and provide some proper details of your problem.

You need to use javaScript "DOM" facilities.

There are multiple ways to go to the previous page.

You need to look here: (to learn javaScript [^] and DOM[^]).

As a special treat, this[^] gets you to a place that describes one possible route.

You still need to do the work

"You need to use javaScript "DOM" facilities."

Wouldn't that be for just going backward in a web page?

No - it would be going back (or forward) through the tab's history. Assuming, of course, you don't modify the history, first.

DOM can control the content of a page and also send you to new ones - I guess it may be whether or not you consider location, history, &etc part of DOM of javaScript.

"it would be going back (or forward) through the tab's history."

Which is part of a browser, correct? I don't see where the OP is trying to display web pages (in a browser). The Back button he refers to is an entirely different animal.
