HTML DOM History forward() Method

Last Updated : 03 Aug, 2023

The History forward() method in HTML is used to load the next URL in the history list. It has the same practical application as the forward button in web browsers. This method will not work if the next page will not exist in the history list.

Syntax:

history.forward
