Hi list...

I have a bookmark that executes a menu item: view > go to > previous view.

I'd like to be able to detect if that previous view is a specific page, and then conditionally have something happen if so. Is this possible?

thanks,
- Michael M.

It's possible in an indirect way. The view history is not accessible to the JavaScript mode. But you could place a JavaScript action on the bookmark that runs after the previous view menu item. The script could detect the current page and react appropiatley.
