Back button in JS function

I created a button in an Html page connected to a function, I click the button and I process the function. Then how can I put a back button in the function so that once i processed it I'll have a new button to get back to the first Html page?

create 2 buttons at first, but set button2.style.display="none" and add button2.style.display="block" into button1's event, so that button2 will appear when button1 is clicked

<button id="first" onclick="click_first()" type="button">First</button> <button id="second" onclick="click_second()" type="button" hidden>Second</button> <script> function click_first(){ // ... here goes your handlers document.querySelector('#second').removeAttribute('hidden'); } function click_second() { alert('Hello Alessandro') } </script>

Sounds like a silly question, I promise it isn't: When you click the button, does your page navigate (but ideally, it should not navigate at all)?
