The history object contains the URLs visited by the user (within a browser window). How do I view the visited URLs? I tried consoling the object and checked through all the fields, couldn't find the required data. history.back() will load the previous, but I just want to know the previous URL.
You cannot do this.
It's made for security reasons.
However you can view the last one (page which you came from) by checking document.referrer.
