help adding a back button to detailed product page

can anyone give me some input as to how I would be able to add a back button that would take a customer back to the last page they came from, I would like to put the button in the product detail page.
Thanks in advance.

Try adding this...
{include file="buttons/button.tpl" button_title="BACK" href="javascript: history.go(-1);" style="button" js_to_href="Y"}

Re: help adding a back button to detailed product page

There are several ways to get what you want..

You can add <img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" width="150" height="1" alt="" /> before the "back" code. That will put a 150 pixel space between your buttons.

You can make the table cell that the "back" code resides in align to the right... <td align="right">.

You can add a "AlignRight" class to skin1.css and make the cell align that way... <td class="AlignRight"> (add .AlignRight {align: right; } to skin1.css )

Re: help adding a back button to detailed product page

Not sure if im inserting this correctly but it is not spacing them apart. this is how i have it in product.tpl

PHP Code:


		
			
<tr>
 <td>{include file="buttons/add_to_cart.tpl" style="button" href="javascript: if(FormValidation()) document.orderform.submit();"}</td>
<td>
<img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" width="150" height="1" alt=""/>
{include file="buttons/button.tpl" button_title="BACK" href="javascript: history.go(-1);" style="button" js_to_href="Y"}
</td>

it acutally offsets them up and down on the same line,
thanks for taking time to answer

Re: help adding a back button to detailed product page

I'm not sure why... probably yet another of x-cart's nested tables. Try ..

Code:

<tr>

 <td>{include file="buttons/add_to_cart.tpl" style="button" href="javascript: if(FormValidation()) document.orderform.submit();"}</td>

<td align="right">

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" width="150" height="1" alt=""/>

{include file="buttons/button.tpl" button_title="BACK" href="javascript: history.go(-1);" style="button" js_to_href="Y"}

</td>

Re: help adding a back button to detailed product page

I just threw button_title="BACK" in there because it was quick. You can always change it to use a language variable... button_title=$lng.lbl_go_back should work just as well.

</td>

This should now align up correctly as the buttons were offset up and down slightly
