The date on the page

The date on the page is the date that the page was first authored.

The date and time in the footer banner is when the page was last edited.

It has long been my contention that web authors and content creators put such dates on their offerings. If you are like me you have searched for something on the Internet that apparently gave you the answer that you were looking for only to find that the page was many years old. Often the information is outdated and there is a more recent answer to your search.

Some of the authoring dates are later than they should be if I have re-created a page from a new template. I am attempting to edit these to the correct dates. Examples of this occur on pages that I created using the template that uses rwd_min.css. Unedited author dates in this case are January 2021.

window.history.back()

This is attached to the Back button on this page.

I use this on pages that may contane forms and I may want to offer the visitor of returning to the previous page (where this is not obvious). This also could be used to return to other previous pages.

I often forget how to do this and how to attach it as an event.

<a href="javascript:void(0); window.history.back()">Back</a>

The back button will also return to the previous position on the screen if you click on a navigation.
