Back button navigation is specific to the window... cookies/sessions
are 1 per browser instance.  You will have a mismatch, but it may be
one you can live with.  The best way to do it is to save the query
parameters in the address bar.  In gmail, the page view information is
saved after the '#' sign.  Take a look at the jquery history plugin.
