I was trying to figure why the "back" on the browser behaves erratically - so the article might be useful...

I do think it has some value. I recently wrote something very similar in an on-line timed html slide show documenting warehouse operations. Though the slide show was, itself, contained in one page (utilizing different absolutely positioned <DIV> tags, I wanted to keep users from simply backing up to the splash page and starting again. Code such as this works well for this.
