try

   <input onclick='javascript:window.history.back()' value='Back' type='button' />

   <input onclick='javascript:window.history.forward()' value='Next' type='button'  />

this is simple javascript.

Note this will not work in following cases:

History is cleared
Open in new browser
Ajax based websites, as no history is maintained for ajax driven applications.
