Hi everyone. Is there an equivelant of history.back('1') when using javascript in a HTA? Even if it's in VBscript I don't care, it's just that you guys seem to be the experts on HTA and seem to know more about it than Microsoft.

When I try using for example:
<script>history.back('1')</script>
under a html page it works fine
but the same code in a HTA doesn't do anything.
I know I could just do a:
document.location=.....
but I am passing a massive amount of variables to this page and to actually get the previous page to display them and this page to send them would be a huge task. Please help me someone!!!

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm afraid that history.back('blah') does not exist in an HTA since its not a browser. So you're gonna have to use document.location= but passing the information isn't as hard as you think, you have a few alternatives. One of them being frames. If you set up your HTA with a hidden frame, you can pass variables to that window and hold them there while the bottom frame changes. Or you could hold the values in the registry and read them from there. Or even write to a text file andthen read from that on the new page.
