You specifically asked for JS solutions, but in the event that someone visits your form with JS disabled a PHP backup is always nice:

when the form loads grab the previous page address via something like $previous = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; and then set that as a in your form. When you process your form with the script you can grab that value and stick it in the header("Location:___") or stick the address directly into a link to send them back where they came from

No JS, pretty simple, and you can structure it so that it's only handled if the client doesn't have JS enabled.
