You have been looking at an IFRAME object. Which is close to a new window. Mimicking some functionality can indeed be done, use the javascript function history(-1) for going back etc. However, if you want a "browser inside a browser", I recommend opening a new window using window.open, which gives you some control on what to show. The buttons you want can also be found if you right-click in the iframe. Most browser keep a separate history for iframes and frames. Browserability is something very trivial to implement, however very implementation dependent. Buttons like you mention can appear above a table to show next/previous page of records, or can mean next or previous window. Using it to browse internet pages seems quite odd to me, as the user already has a browser that does that trick for him/her. -- Abel _______________________________________________ Javawin mailing list [email protected] http://mail.xilinus.com/mailman/listinfo/javawin_xilinus.com
