How to?/back browser button(JavaScript/Chrome)

[arybalka]

Hi every one,

I can not find how to use back browser button.(JavaScript/Chrome)

I am looking for something like:

var page = Sys.Browser().Page("*");

page.back()//doesn't exist - just example 

OR

Browsers.Item(btChrome).back()//doesn't exist - just example 

Thanks

Instead of attempting a custom action or looking for a particular method, use the Keys method on the page object and send

Aliases.browser.myPage.Keys(~[Left])

I'm not entirely certain but I think this keystroke combination is supported by all browser types.

Thanks Robert,

I tried:

.........

var page = Sys.Browser().Page("*");
page.Keys("[Left]");//Log:Keyboard input. Normal 13:06:06
page.Keys("[Left]");//Log:Keyboard input. Normal 13:06:06
page.Keys("[Left]");//Log:Keyboard input. Normal 13:06:06

But I am still on the same page(((((

OMG

)))))

Alt+Left

Yup... That's what the ~ character is for. 😉

So in my case the syntaxe is:

var page = Sys.Browser().Page("*");
page.Keys("~[Left]");

Hi,

Additionally you can call this method:

page = Aliases.browser.yourPageObject; //OR page = Sys.Browser().Page("*");

page.window.history.back();

as well as:

page.window.history.forward();

I have a better solution that is probably more what you are looking for,

//Navigates to the previous item in the history list.
var pageObj = Aliases.browser.Page("*");
pageObj.contentDocument.Script.eval("history.back()");
Delay(1000);

I really don't understand why there isn't a function implemented in test complete to do this natively.

Thanks DexBhp, I changed the tool for automation, so I can't confirm your approach.

Sorry, I hope it will help to some body
