Name
history — NN 2 IE 3 DOM n/a
Synopsis
During a browser session, the browser
uses the history
object to maintain a list of URLs
visited by the user. This list (stored as an array) is used by the
browser to assist with navigation via the Back
and Forward buttons. Due
to the sensitive nature of the private information stored in the
history
object, not many of the details are
exposed to scripts that could capture such information and
surreptitiously submit it to a server. In more recent browser
versions, each window maintains its own history
object.
