Is history.back() active

[JohnSouth]

Hi

Is there a way to see if there is a history page? i.e. is the back
button active.

I want to change the link on a page depending on whether the user
opened a new window or not.

That is none of your business,
when/because it does not "belong" to your site/domain.

Tough luck. Your concept is flawed anyway.
