title: Cordova - window.history.back() not working on HTML back button in iOS 9
body: <p>In my application I am using <strong>window.history.back</strong> to navigate back to previous View</p>
  
  <p><strong>Declaration of back button</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;div class="back_icon"  id="verification_back_icon"&gt;&lt;a href="#" data-rel="back"  data-transition="slidedown"&gt;&lt;img src="images/back_btn.png" width="23"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Button action:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$( "#verification_back_icon" ).on( "click", function ( e ) {
      if ( checkDirtyVacation() ) {
          e.preventDefault();
          if ( backbtnAlt == false ) {
              backbtnAlt = true;
              confirm( "All data will be lost. Do you want to continue?",
                  function ( r ) {
                      if ( r ) {
                          //onBackKeyDown();
                          clearVacationvalues();
                          window.history.back();//this is not working in iOS 9
                      } else {
  
                      }
                      backbtnAlt = false;
                  } );
          }
      }
      else {
          e.preventDefault();
          if ( $( ".vaction_location" ).hasClass( "chkSelect" ) ) {
              $( ".vaction_location" ).removeClass( "chkSelect" );
              $( ".vaction_location" ).addClass( "chkUnSelect" );
          }
  
  
          window.history.back();
      }
  } );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This worked perfectly till iOS 8.4. In iOS 9 this navigation is not working.</p>
  
  <p>I am using <code>Apache Cordova native platform version 3.8.0</code> .</p>
  
  <p>If anyone facing the similar problem please suggest me.
  I have tried with <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16542118/phonegap-navigator-app-backhistory-not-working-on-html-back-button?lq=1">history.back doesn't work on iOS using Cordova</a>, but no luck</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
