I tried it. My issue is not that I am not eting redirected. That is fine both in IE and fire fox. Issue is in FireFox I can not go back to the previous page which redirected me. It by pass that page when I do javascript:history.go(-1)"> , and goes to one before that.

Well - it all works for me using the following code, in both IE6 and Fx2:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"[/URL] dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
<head profile="[URL unfurl="true"]http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">[/URL]
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
	<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en" />
	<title>Redirect Test - Page 01</title>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		function doRedirect() {
			document.location.href = 'redirect02.html';
		}
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<h1>Page 01</h1>
	<a href="javascript:doRedirect();">Do redirect</a>
</body>
</html>

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"[/URL] dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
<head profile="[URL unfurl="true"]http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">[/URL]
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
	<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en" />
	<title>Redirect Test - Page 02</title>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		function doRedirect() {
			history.go(-1);
		}
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<h1>Page 02</h1>
	<a href="javascript:doRedirect();">Do redirect</a>
</body>
</html>
