document.referrer works when a user clicks on a link to navigate to the current page but I don't think it works when you do a manual redirect in a Javascript function.
The only way I can think of is to store the URL of the page before the user is redirected to your current page.
You could store it in a hidden form or a cookie.
This question has also been asked before and its worth having a quick read through here. How do you get the previous url in Javascript?
I took this cookie example from it to show you what I mean.
$.cookie("previousUrl", window.location.href, {path:"/"});
You can't know the URL of the previous page, but you can link to it using
window.history.back();
or
window.history.go(-1);
if you want to know if there is a previous page, check
window.history.length;
If it's more than 0, there is a prev page. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history
You can use history object of javascript. Please refer the url http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/obj_history.asp
