My Project is in Asp.net.Every comment is appreciated. Thank you..!

Answer 1

Here is a working example (tested on saucelabs IE7, IE8, IE9 @Windows XP and Vista)

<input type="button" id="push-me" value="Push me!" onclick="window.history.back(); return false;"/> 

If it still doesn't work for you may ensure that your tests are not executed within an iframe but a separate window.

Answer 2

It is probably a syntax error.

onclick="history.go(); return false;" 

or

onclick="history.go(-1); return false;" 

should work. Else you could try document referrer instead:

location.href = document.referrer;
