    That's what cookies are for? Why not just store all choices in a cookie and then update the cookie as necessary. That way no matter where they are, their choices are there, their pathways are preserved. You can detect if a browser doesn't take cookies. Also, the links should still be the same if they click back, because, in most cases the page is rendered from a local cache and not from the server.
        Thanks a lot for your replies. OK now, here lies the problem. I cant use sessions because I am forbidden to do so due to some reasons. And neither am I too keen on using cookies since there is a chance that some paranoid users may have disabled cookies in their browsers. So that lead me to think that since this involves the click on just one browser back button, would it be safe to go ahead with such an arrangement?
