How to prevent history.back() from going back to login page

Question

I have a back button in my application which on click should return to parent page. I am using history.back() for the purpose . However I am not able to prevent it from going back to login.

Answer 1

Use the document.referrer to check the previous clicked link :

if(document.referrer !="http://myloginpage"){ // different then the url login then go back 
   window.history.back()
}
