OK. All of those browsers should support history.go(-1). If it's not working, then make sure that JavaScript is turned on. Actually, I realize that a better solution would be <%= link_to 'Back', :back, :onclick = "history.go(-1); return false;" %>. This way, if you have JavaScript off, at least you still get the link_to :back functionality. > > I find learning how to use Rails, Javascript, ruby, etc a challenge as > there's such a scattered lot of sites to find out how to understand and > use Rails.

Yes, it can be frustrating. http://www.railsbrain.com is your friend: the Rails API in a much more readable format than on the official Rails site. http://www.javascriptkit.com is great for JS reference.

But mySQL is certainly quite adequate to learn on, and many companies do use it for their primary DB system. > ruby, the > script/generator, rake tasks, migrations, css, html. Great.
