I'm trying to include an href with "javascript:history.go(-1)" as the path in a template, but every time i go to publish it, wcms rewrites it with a wcms relative path. how can i include this javascript in my template?

   Hi fuelishways,

   This is a known defect in Cascade that causes links containing javascript: to be incorrectly rewritten during Template submission. Feel free to track the status of this issue using the link I have provided to see if it has been resolved in a future version of Cascade.

   In the meantime, there are a few workarounds that you could try:

   • Use the onclick method instead. For example: <a href="#" onclick="history.go(-1)">Go back</a>
   • Add the link to either an XHTML Block or a Format, the href should be left alone.

   Please let us know if you have any questions.

   Thanks.

   The onclick method doesn't seem to work in chrome. It also doesn't work in iOS.

   It looks like Chrome and Safari (iOS) are a little more finicky. Let's try the following:

   <a href="#" onclick="history.go(-1);return false;">Go back</a>
   

   Please let me know if this works out for you.

   Thanks.
