javascript to get url of previous page

Question

I want to get url of previous page. I found a lot of answers but I couldn't find anything which works with back button of browser. I used document.referrer but it also doesn't work for back button. Can anyone help me??

Answer 1

Use the following in javascript snipet

document.referrer;

if you are implementing back button use this

<a href="javascript: history.go(-1)">Back</a>
