Target a Specific Page With The Back Button

In support we get asked if we can have the back button target a specific page. Though this is not a built-in feature, we do have a script for that! In our survey below if you click the back button you will be sent to the Thank You Page. 

Check it out in an example survey.

OR

Add a survey with this setup to your account!

Setup

On the page(s) you'd like this to happen click Add New Action > JavaScript and paste the code below. 

//Set this variable to Page ID that the back button will be sending to.
var pageID = 1;

$(document).ready(function(){
$('.sg-back-button').attr("onclick","$('sg_navchoice').value='sGizmoBackButton';this.form.action=this.form.action+'?__sgtarget="+pageID+ "&';return(true);");
});

Required Customization

The only modification you'll need to make is to change var pageID = 1 to the page ID you'd like the respondent to jump to. For more information on question, page and option ids check out our tutorial on How to Find Ids.

Then do some testing. Go through your survey and see if your back button redirects to the correct page. If for any reason it doesn't, check your page IDs.
