How can I work with IE Browser back button?

Hi,



I want to click on IE7/IE8 browser back button to go back to previous page. Please provide the help topic or code for this.



I have used the Object spy to identify the location of back button. It is showing it as window.



Please find the screenshot.



Regards,

Viniod

    Try to use "GoBack" method of "...Window("Shell DocObject View", "", 1).Window("Internet Explorer_Server", "", 1)" object.

    Hi,



    You can also use the GoBack method of your page (Sys.Process("iexplore").Page()) object. Look at the Page object in the Object Browser - its Methods tab lists methods which control page navigation under the Internet Explorer category.

    Hi,



    Alternatively, you can use Alt-LeftArrow shortcut, as all you need is to return to the previous page.

    Something like this:

    ...Window("Shell DocObject View", "", 1).Window("Internet Explorer_Server", "", 1).Keys("~[Left]")
