Is there a simple code for "Back"?

As in when you make a website is there a general code for "Back"
which applies to whatever page you view

what is this code?

I want to put "back" on different pages - whether they come from another site or not.

HTML Code:

---

<a href="javascript:history.back()">

---

thank you - you are a genius

I now fully understand your critic in the other topic

but one webbynoob question - if in design interface - if i make a "Back" .gif image what is the "hyperlink" adress - is it simply "javascript ; history.back()"> ?
without having to go into the html code..............

thanx

HTML Code:

---

<a href="javascript:history.back()"><img src="back.gif"></a>

---

something like this?

Slowly i learn......small steps

Thank you

youre welcome ;)
