Anchor when got back

Question

Maybe someone knows how to do such a function?

I need that every time then people goes back in my page they would get exaclty at the place where the link was, not in the top (beginnig) of a page. Facebook has such a function.

I know there is a links with anchor, but how to do this with a button back?

Thank you!

Do you mean when people use the back button in their browsers? — Anders Arpi, Jul 27 '12 at 14:58
It sounds like the OP want the following: when a user clicks the back button in the browser, they are scrolled back to the point they left before clicking a link to leave that page. — Ben Everard, Jul 27 '12 at 15:00

Try this

Function is:

function GoBack(url){

window.open(url,'_self');

}

You can use it like this:

<input type="button" onclick="GoBack('YourUrl#Anc')" value="Go Back" />

You can crate a cookie named [url of the page] that has the value of scrollpos at the moment with javascript when a user clicks a link. And when the page loads back again, you can fetch the cookie back and scroll to that position. Ugly but does the job..
