I'm thinking about a design where I maintain a URL stack in a session
variable that stores where a user has been, so that clicking a "back" button
(not the browser's) will take a user to the right place.  It would work like
this:

Click a "Continue" button -> Push a new URL onto the stack, and take the
user to that page
Click a "Save" button     -> Leave the stack alone, and return the user to
the same page
Click a "Back" button     -> Pop a URL from the stack and take the user to
the URL on the top of the stack.
Click a "Done" button     -> Clear the stack.  This would happen when you
click a link on a top nav bar or the finish button in a wizard, for example.

These would be the basic types of navigation.  The actual labels on the
buttons or links could be whatever you want.  For example, you could have a
"Continue" button labeled "Save" that takes the user to another page.

Has anyone tried something like this with good or bad results?

Thanks,
Dan
