In WordPress I believe you can paste pretty much any HTML or Javascript content in the content section while on the "HTML" tab (as opposed to the "Visual Editor" tab) and it should work.

Hi, can someone explain step by step how to create the page to go back in the history of the browser? I can't find the way to redirect users to the previous page... Thank you very much.

this is my trick for making people go back to where they came from after the login:

1. Redirect to X page.
2. On X page, load up a javascript forcing the user to go back 2 pages (1 for the login page, and 2 for the original page)

My implementation was setting up a wiki page with securehtml enabled: http://krcla.org/blog/w-en/ind.....ction=edit

Let’s see if the code pastes properly here:
<html><script type="text/javascript">
function redirectIt() {
window.location.replace(history.go(-2));
}

window.onload = redirectIt;
</script></html>
