back and forward buttons for navigation

[Anon]

Hello;
I am trying to find a way to get back and forward buttons on my site. Any help would be great.

Do you need to do this in PHP? You can do this in java, for example to create a back button:

<font face="Times New Roman">

<form> <p><input type="button" value="Go Back" name="BackButton" onMouseOver="'Go Back to Previous Page'; return true"
onClick="history.back()"></p> </form>

etc. etc... hope that gets u started.

Basically you need to do a prelim query on your db to get the total number of records that you will be working with, then you need to determine how many records you want to display per page. After that you just need to create links to pass the row offset as a value appended to the next and previous buttons. Then you can use the LIMIT x, y function in MySQL. I struggled through this one myself, but I tell you the best way to learn it is to do it yourself and don't rely on someone else's code. Everyone codes a little different from everyone else, learn the principle behind it, and you should be able to pull it off.

I missed the beginning of this post, I thought you needed to navigate through a database.
