[javascript] How to get the previous page URL using JavaScript? 

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.write(document.referrer);
</script>

document.referrer serves your purpose, but it doesn't work for Internet Explorer versions earlier than IE9.

It will work for other popular browsers, like Chrome, Mozilla, Opera, Safari etc.
