Loads a URL from the History list.

history.back (  [ iDistance ] )

iDistance	Optional. Number of URLs to go back. If no value is provided, the previous URL will be loaded.

No return value.

This method performs the same action as when a user clicks the Back button in the browser. The back method is the same as history.go ( -1 ). Trying to go past the beginning of the history does not generate an error. Instead, you remain at the current page.
