Answer 1

You're doing it wrong. The browser already has a button to go back in the history and you don't need to re-implement it. What if I get to page 5 through Google, how am I supposed to get back? Your back button would take me back to Google.

Instead, create a normal link to the URL of the hierarchially previous page. Preferably on the server side.
