This is a good script to have on you page if you have more than one page linked to the specific page. For example, say you go to my Calvin and Hobbes Tribute Page, you can go to Character Profile: Calvin from a number of pages. If I put a "Back" button on the page, you would go to the page you clicked to go to Character Profile: Calvin. As far as "Forward", that only works if you've gone to a page, then came back using the back button on your browser or using the "Back" button on another page.
