JQuery question (link history)

[eluser]Référencement Google[/eluser]
Hi all,

How can I make such a thing with a JQuery listner rather than having a href with javascript inside:

Code:

<a href="[removed]history.back();">Back</a>

Hmmm the forum add a [removed] tag but normally it's write with "javascript" inside

You can use jQuery's bind function to achieve this like so:

Code:

<span id="hist">Back</span>

  $("#hist").bind('click', function() {
    history.back();
  });

you can do that even shorter

Code:

<span id="hist">Back</span>

  $("#hist").click(function() {
    history.back();
  });

More semantically correct would be (imo)

Code:

<a id="hist">Back</a>

  $("#hist").click(function() {
    history.back();
    return false;
  });

The return false is so the page won't actually follow the link. Though I don't know if it's necessary with the history back thing. You should try it out.
