After all, it's used for doing things like linking to stylesheets, feeds, &c. Aside from the next and previous pages, you can also link to tables of contents, indexes, glossaries, versions in other langauges, and so on. A toolbar would be useful for all these with keystrokes for the next and previous page. I’d be very surprised if you really didn’t know about the LINK tag.

It does a great job of recognising the page without coding it in. Now it just needs to be linked to a hotkey.... like the [j/k] for Google Products unless in a form field. Topper- ok. forget the Forward button idea. Any button will do! Infact - forget a button. Buttons require moving the mouse to them and in that case you may aswell click the [next page] button on the site. A hot key is perfect as above. Keith - didn't know of the link tag. I've no experience in scripting language inmplementation structures, so take your point as valid. Thanks all! Rowan - That is a great plug-in.

Firefox can already do precaching on this and in older versions of Mozilla, there was even a toolbar that displayed any such links. Opera still supports it completely. You is bad, because, as Peter explained, it overloads the the forward button in nasty, horrible ways. However, the idea itself (rather than its proposed implementation) is fine, even if TimBL and co thought of it first.

But (theres always a but) It would have to be very carefully to avoid explotation and what would happen when a user goes from a site that has a 'next' page and then types in another website URL, then clicks back again... now, what is the forward button going to do, take to user to the 'next' page or the other website? It would be confusing for dopey users... 70% of the online world that is. Maybe a different button could be implemented in the browser, a special NEXT PAGE button rather than using the forward button... just my 2c. Not a bad idea in itself.
