Name

History.forward( ) — visit the next URL

Availability

JavaScript 1.0

Synopsis

history.forward(  )

Description

forward( ) causes the window or frame to which the History object belongs to revisit the URL (if any) that was visited immediately after the current one. Calling this method has the same effect as clicking on the browser’s Forward button. It is also equivalent to:

history.go(1);

Note that if the user has not used the Back button or the Go menu to move backward through the history, and if JavaScript has not invoked the History.back( ) or History.go( ) methods, the forward( ) method has no effect because the browser is already at the end of its list of URLs, and there is no URL to go forward to.
