Thanks for that. I didn't really want users to have to enable jscript...
Works fine but goes to top of page, as you said.

<a href = "javascript:history.back()"> Go back </a>
Works just like 'Back' button. Nice.

So, those without jscript enabled can use the back button
while the more adventurous will see my 'go back'.

Thanks all. You've helped a lot.
