create button behave as apage back

Question

I have a ASP.Net page which includes a search input

search input takes a value
button fills a table with data
each data has a link button to go to another page
when I press this link I can go to the another page
when I press back button of the browser it return me again to the search page and the search input still saved the value

I need to create a button when I click it behave as browser back button.

You can use history.go(-1) or history.back()

Next time, instead of pulling an answer directly from the SO post you referenced, flag the newer post as a duplicate of the other. – CubeJockey Feb 26 '16 at 17:30

<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="window.history.back();" />

This input tag will go back in the Browser history by one page unless there isn't anything in the history to go back to.
