back button not working in internet explorer, working good in mozilla firefox and google chrome

Question

I have a form page where I have a back button and a print button both on the top and bottom of the page(coded in javascript). The back button at the bottom of the page is not working in the Internet Explorer whereas the top one and both the print buttons works good. The code chunk is same for both of back button. In addition all the buttons are are working well in Mozilla Firefox and Google chrome. For reference the codes for the back button go like this

<html:submit onclick="javascript:document.forms[0].action.value='back';" >
<fmt:message key="form.button.back"/>
</html:submit>

Any help appreciated.
