Simply push the "back button" and you always get where you
were if you're lost.
The "back button" problem keeps surfacing year after year. And I don't have an ideal solution. Except to acknowledge that it's incompatible with database maintenance applications generally and rich user interfaces in particular. And to explain that to users so they know what to expect, or scale back the scope and capability and performance of the application to cater to traditional Web surfers.
I have an interest in extending browsers to support transaction processing, data entry, and database maintenance in production environments, where personal productivity of end users is a heavily weighted priority. So in that context, I suggest that the entry point of the application (the sign-on screen) be launched in a Window that removes the back button. Even with the back button problem, I see browsers as a better alternative than 5250 and thick client user interfaces for database maintenance, generally.
