I kind of hate it when sites do this, but you could have the first page reload itself if it doesn't have an SID, and add an SID to itself. This way, if they use the back button, the first "first page" they come to has the SID.

But if they it the back button again they would come to the real first they came to and that page would reload itself, generating a new SID no? I did some testing and found that there must be a way. I turned cookies and javascript off and then visited Amazon.com. I added an item to my cart, hit the back button all way back to the entrance and then checked my cart ... lo-and-behold the item was in my cart still. How did they do that? Maybe some use of header() on the first page to redirect itslef to page with a SID? Jc
