If you're using JavaScript that automatically moves the visitor to another

page, then going back to that page doesn't seem like it would lead to a

persistent change, true.


If they wish to go to a page before that routing page, then that should be

easy.


(Remember, though, that not all browsers will tell JavaScript what they can

do. Many people have moved to just showing the Flash content and merely

providing a "can't see the anim?" link. This works across all browsers, and

is much faster for the majority who can already see Flash.)
