What you described is today's known practice. If you check Struts source codes, you may find the token facility in Struts may solve the problems you mentioned as backtracking. I buy it with a little concern if we could make it as solid as your Sony VCR :-)
> Actually, it does. I suspect that the Sony BeepGenerator Action performs a > ForwardAction to PlayNextFrame Action :-) When a web application is interrupted by the Back button, if anyone could remove the message like "Don't try to backtrack -- we don't allow/support it" with a generic algorithm that allows the application flow to continue from where it is interrupted, the algorithm is going to be welcomed, regardless the algorithm is server logic or client logic. Maybe WebObjects could do it or some other frameworks?
