history.back, history.go(), history.previous Difference???

history.back() and history.go(-1) are completely identical methods. Of course history.go() can take other parms including URL's or Page Titles while history.back() can only do one thing.
history.previous is a property and returns the URL of the previous item in the history object.
However, this is a security issue and requires a signed script with explicit permission from the visitor to successfully use history.previous, .current, .next. Unlike the history.back() and history.go() methods, this one is not settable. It's only gettable.
