Just a comment... the submit button/session technique sucks with respect
to passing along links to people. I would suggest scrapping that
approach and going with a GET approach (where the navigational
information is present in the URL). I know my clients almost always want
to be able to paste a URL into an email and have the recipient go
directly to whatever they are viewing. Maybe that's not an issue for you
though... yet ;)

Cheers,
Rob.
