 * Hi Guys
 * I am trying to add back button/link to a page currently I am trying to use this
   code.
 * <input type=”button” value=”Previous Page” onclick=”goBack()”>
 *     ```
       <script>
       function goBack() {
       window.history.back()
       }
       </script>
       ```
   
 * but I am having many problems. Lets for the moment assume that I can get the 
   javascript working. When I put the input on the page wordpress strips the onclick
   event or the href so the code does not run.
 * Is there a way to get the above to work?
 * or
 * Is there a wordpress way to have a button/link that when clicked returns to the
   previous page?
