Automatic "go back" to previous url

Question

I want to get redirect to the previous URL I was on.

I used this <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=javascript:history.back();">but it doesnt work it gives me this error:

redirectrequireditems.html:14 Refused to refresh http://localhost/Test.com/redirectrequireditems.html to a javascript: URL

Line 14 is <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=javascript:history.back();">

Any suggestions?

Don't know if we can do it through META tag, I have the following solution using JavaScript:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
        setTimeout("window.history.go(-1)",2000);
</script>
