HTA / HTML Back button not working

I have this very basic launcher:

<html>
<head>
<HTA:APPLICATION id="hwHTA"
applicationName="hyperHTA"
border="thin"
borderStyle="normal"
caption="yes"
maximizeButton="yes"
minimizeButton="yes"
showInTaskbar="no"
windowState="normal"
innerBorder="yes"
navigable="yes"
scroll="auto"
scrollFlat="yes"
singleInstance="yes" 
sysMenu="yes"
contextMenu="yes"
selection="yes" 
version="1.0" />
<title>Simple HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="m1.hta" target="_top">LINK</a>
</body>
</html>

And it launches this hta file:

<HTA:APPLICATION id="hwHTA"
applicationName="hyperHTA"
border="thin"
borderStyle="normal"
caption="yes"
maximizeButton="yes"
minimizeButton="yes"
showInTaskbar="no"
windowState="normal"
innerBorder="yes"
navigable="yes"
scroll="auto"
scrollFlat="yes"
singleInstance="yes" 
sysMenu="yes"
contextMenu="yes"
selection="yes" 
version="1.0" />

</body>

When the back button is pressed it doesn't do any thing. Can any one help.

Solution

  • You need to replace the onClick = "history.go (-1) on onClick =" with window.history.back (); I've just checked how it works
