As already discussed with you[^], above methods are IE specific and Firefox does not support them.

You would need to maintain a stack of URL's visited and use them based on your bac-forward. You cannot use browsers as Firefox does not support it.

Hi sandeep thanks for this
history.go() is working fine with ie but these methods are also not working in ie.
i have one iframe on my page,on select option change event content on my iframe changes but url remain same,so how can i track history pages??

You should have explained all these earlier. Having an iframe and navigating is totally different scenario and you cannot track that via browser history!

You can understand now that posting the whole scenario and question helps both you and us.
