<%= link_to_function ‘Back’, ‘history.back()’ %>

Or you can add this to your ApplicationHelper.rb

def link_back
return link_to_function ‘Back’, ‘history.back()’
end

Then in your views:
<%= link_to_back %>

You can also use ‘redirect_to :back’ which will send you back to the
referring page… not quite the same thing.
