Return to same position when clicking browser back

Maybe someone knows how to solve this? :)

Problem is that when I click browser back button from another page to return to the home page it doesn't return to the same position I left from, it always returns to the first position.

This actually should happen by default. My browser ( Chromium - light version of chrome for linux ) does this. Chrome has had a problem with this in the past, perhaps it is an issue again if you're using chrome. Firefox and IE should both do this, unless you're using some very old outdated software.

To manually achieve this, you could do so with javascript. Though that's probably better suited once you're further along in your knowledge as it's not super basic, but isn't quite crazy advanced either.

And maybe you can show me some example or post a link where I can read more about how to do this? :)
