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).
