I have to fetch the previous URL from the history using Jquery.

I am using document.referrer which is working fine in Firefox and Chrome.

However document.referrer is not working in IE8.

Could you please help me to resolve the issue?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks for your reply.

Could you please specify what we have to pass in the "URL" parameter?

Try this
<script type="text/javascript" >
function redirect(url) {
    if (/MSIE (\d+\.\d+);/.test(navigator.userAgent)){
        var referLink = document.createElement('a');
        referLink.href = url;
        document.body.appendChild(referLink);
        referLink.click();
    } else {
        location.href = url;
    }
}
