To go back or front to a specific page in history, you can use the go() function in the global history object and pass the count as an argument to the function in JavaScript.
In our case, we want to go 2 pages back in the history. So for that, we can pass -2 as an argument to the history.go() function like this,
// Go 2 pages back in history
history.go(-2);
If we want to go 2 pages front in history, we need to omit the negative sign from the -2, so it may look like this
// Go 2 pages front in history
history.go(2);
- Negative number values are used to go back to a specific page.
- Positive number values are used to go forward to a specific page.
