I am trying to develop a javascript code that when a user clicks on the back button of a webpage, it can be redirected to another URL.
I have found these lines of code but I would like to know if there is something cleaner and more effective:
var bajb_backdetect={Version:'1.0.0',Description:'Back Button Detection',Browser:{IE:!!(window.attachEvent&&!window.opera),Safari:navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Apple')>-1,Opera:!!window.opera},FrameLoaded:0,FrameTry:0,FrameTimeout:null,OnBack:function(){alert('Back Button Clicked')},BAJBFrame:function(){var BAJBOnBack=document.getElementById('BAJBOnBack');if(bajb_backdetect.FrameLoaded>1){if(bajb_backdetect.FrameLoaded==2){bajb_backdetect.OnBack();}}bajb_backdetect.FrameLoaded++;if(bajb_backdetect.FrameLoaded==1){if(bajb_backdetect.Browser.IE){bajb_backdetect.SetupFrames()}else{bajb_backdetect.FrameTimeout=setTimeout("bajb_backdetect.SetupFrames();",700)}}},SetupFrames:function(){clearTimeout(bajb_backdetect.FrameTimeout);var BBiFrame=document.getElementById('BAJBOnBack');var checkVar=BBiFrame.src.substr(-11,11);if(bajb_backdetect.FrameLoaded==1&&checkVar!="HistoryLoad"){BBiFrame.src="blank.html?HistoryLoad"}else{if(bajb_backdetect.FrameTry<2&&checkVar!="HistoryLoad"){bajb_backdetect.FrameTry++;bajb_backdetect.FrameTimeout=setTimeout("bajb_backdetect.SetupFrames();",700)}}},SafariHash:'false',Safari:function(){if(bajb_backdetect.SafariHash=='false'){if(window.location.hash=='#b'){bajb_backdetect.SafariHash='true'}else{window.location.hash='#b'}setTimeout("bajb_backdetect.Safari();",100)}else if(bajb_backdetect.SafariHash=='true'){if(window.location.hash==''){bajb_backdetect.SafariHash='back';bajb_backdetect.OnBack();}else{setTimeout("bajb_backdetect.Safari();",100)}}},Initialise:function(){if(bajb_backdetect.Browser.Safari){setTimeout("bajb_backdetect.Safari();",600)}else{document.write('<iframe id="BAJBOnBack" width="320" height="240" style="display: none;" src="blank.html" onunload="alert(\'de\')" onload="bajb_backdetect.BAJBFrame();"></iframe>')}}};bajb_backdetect.Initialise();
and this is how you would use it in your HTML document:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/backfix.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
bajb_backdetect.OnBack = function(){
document.location.href = 'http://google.com'; //Change the url here with your desired URL
}
// ]]></script>
