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
Example: Below program illustrates the History forward() method in HTML
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head>
<title>DOM History.forward() Method</title>
<style>
h1 {
color: green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>
<h2>DOM History.forward( ) Method</h2>
<p>
For going to the next URL in the history
double-click the "Go next" button:
</p>
<button ondblclick="history_forward()">
Go next
</button>
<script>
function history_forward() {
window.history.forward();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
