RE: Browser's Back button and BASE HREF

the problem is in the nav_js.html file. it redirects to the proper 
navigation page when the frameset is loaded. if one hits back, the browser 
uses that frames history and loads the redirect sending the visitor back 
where they came from. you could use the location.replace method to over 
write the history which was added in JS1.1, or you could run this check in 
the frameset document and write the proper frame tag. just a thought -
