saving the current url by clicking the comment link

[cyanoorange]

Hi, I want to do the following:
When you click on the commentsbutton in a post, the current link (with anchor) should be saved in a variable.
I have a goback button in the comments-section. If this button is clicked, the user should be directed to the saved url.
A normal go back in history function doesnt work, because if a user entered a comment the history has changed.

It looks like the link to the comments section is located in the function genesis_post_comments_shortcode
(...)
$comments = sprintf( '%s', get_comments_link(), $comments );
(...)

right?

My idea was to insert a onclick='saveMyUrlFunction();' to the link - but I have no clue, how I to do this. Or is there a better way to solve the problem.
Would be great, if someone could help.

Hi there,

The comments button would be actually submitting the comment so I'm a little confused at what you're trying to accomplish? Clicking back is basically refreshing the post since the comment has already been entered. If this is still something you are trying to solve can you provide a link and any additional details?

Thanks!

Hi Ginger,
its still something I am trying to solve, but right now I cant give a link, because this site is not online right now (just on a local server).
Just to try it in other words:
I would like to have a back button on my comments site, which should bring the user back to the place where he was before he was entering the comments section. Therefore its not enough to make a normal "back button", because if the user has entered a comment on the comment site (and was not only reading the comments) the site history changes and the back button would send you to the comment site again, cause that was the last refreshment.
Thats why I need to "remember" where the user came from. Means, when they click at the "go to comments" - Button, it woud be great to save the sites url and to call it, if the user wants to get back.

But you are right, I should ask the question again, when I can show what I mean.
