Try history[0].value

thanks, but i tried that. I've tried most sensible variations but none seem to work. It's frustrating becuase the history is stored in an array (as evidenced by the history.length), but you can't just access them as an array.

My first visit to the JS forum...
Anyway,

You might try writing a little function to assign the values of the history into an array, as there's no way (afaik) to display them with a history[] array.

ex;
function history_array() {
retval = new Array();
total = history.length;
i = 0;
while(i < total) {
retval[i] = history.prev;
i++;
}
return retval;
}

About the history.prev attribute, my refs say it was only available in JavaScript 1.1 (Netscape 3?), not before and not after. The viewer's browser had to have tainting enabled and then the page source had to turn it on with the taint() method. There was something about an explanation on how to use resedit to enable tainting, but I didn't notice anything explanation for non-Mac PCs.

If you check the page referred to by gstrock's post, you will realize that access to the elements of the history array is, and should be, restricted. If you need to track someone through your site, you should use cookies or hidden tags.
