The JavaScript History object is a child of the Window object and holds information about the URls visited before and after the current URL.
The object has the following methods and properties:
* '''history.length''' - a property containing the numner of URLs held in the history.
* '''history.go()''' - takes a postive or negative number as an argument to specify how many changes back or forward in the history to go. For example history.go(-4) is equivalent to pressing the Back buttonm in the browser 4 times.
* '''history.back()''' - equivalent to pressing the browser ''Back'' button (loads the previous page from the history list).
* '''history.forward()''' - equivalent to pressing the browser ''Forward'' button (loads the next page from the history if it exists).
