How can I give the user the facility to go back to the previous page
without having to ask him to press the back button

In code view, where you want the button, insert:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Back" onClick="history.go(-1)">
</FORM>

without having to ask him to press the back button

<p align="center"><button type="button" onclick="history.go(-1)"><font
color="#0000FF">Go Back</font></button>
That's the way I do it.Tom J

<a href="javascript:window.close()">Back</a>

You can change "back" to any label you want.

the code below closes a window; not return to the previous page....and not
what the OP was asking. If only one browser window is open it will close
that browser session.

Here is the code: <a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)">Back</a>

Or you can use this
<input type="button" value="Go Back"
onclick="history.back()">

I actually use both - not for any real reason, except that in one case I
find onClick="history.go(-2)" useful

I just found out that:
<a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)">Back</a> Makes you go back and <a
href="#" onClick="history.go(1)">Forward</a> Makes you go forward.
