I’ve noticed this for quite some time with the browser back button. I think it’s a browser page cache issue. The browser is not communicating with the server after a back button click. Maybe Bob can do something to defeat this in JSmol, but I think you need control of your server’s http headers to defeat the browser back button page cache problem.
My solution to the problem was to return to the JSmol page via a reload link of some type in any subsequent page. I maintain the state of the original JSmol page in browser local storage. I have a special local storage memory location that stores the current model when I leave the page. If this location is not null (i.e. on return to JSmol from a subsequent page), then JSmol loads from this location - not my default. I’m currently using molfiles, but this concept should work with state. I just have a really hard time working with state files. Saving/Restoring them involves special character problems that I have not learned how to deal with yet.
