<select id='orginCountryID' onChange='FillSubDropdownlist(this.value)'>
    <option>-- select country --</option>
    <option>Malaysia</option>
    <option>Philippines</option>
</select>

<select id='orginCityID'>
    <option>-- select city/town --</option>
    <option>Kuala Lumpur</option>
    <option>Manila</option>
</select>

<a href="#"  onclick="window.history.back();return false;" class="btngrey"><span>back</span></>

It is not working IE11, the city option is missing. When I select a county the city automatically loads. When I click the back button the country option shows up fine, but the city option is missing only in IE, other browsers are working fine.

• 1 Where is that FillSubDropdownlist() function you are referring to defined? If the code is set up properly, that part should make the city dropdown box display once you have selected a valid country fom the country dropdown box. – IQAndreas Commented Aug 18, 2014 at 4:08
• Also, I think some of the code was cut off (only the first part of the <a href was in your code) – IQAndreas Commented Aug 18, 2014 at 4:08
• 3 don't use a <a> if you're not going to link to another resource. href="#" actually means something in HTML5, namely "navigate to the top of this document" so if you need what is effectively a button, not a link to the top of the document, use a <button> element and then add CSS to make it look exactly how you need it to look (the only reason it looks like a button is browser default styling, all of which is overrulable) – Mike 'Pomax' Kamermans Commented Aug 18, 2014 at 4:13
• Did you try window.history.go(-1) instead of back(). I think I had similar problem before. – Shinigamae Commented Aug 18, 2014 at 7:47
• yes if i change like this window.history.go(-1) ....its working in IE but fails in chrome – Ravinder Reddy Commented Aug 18, 2014 at 7:48

Try

<a href="#" onclick="window.history.go(-1); return false;" class="btngrey"><span>back</span></a>

Or

<a href="#" onclick="history.go(-1); return false;" class="btngrey"><span>back</span></a>

Hope this works.And remember to close your tag properly
