Name
History.forward( ): visit the next URL â 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 browserâs
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.
