I've been thinking of how to implement the moving backwards and forward through pages using the keypad. Previously I had the problem that it was going to be difficuly for me to find out which page is next in the sequence. The following may be a solution:

In the page, there will be the refresh tag with the new URL in it. If this URL could also be placed in the page title, I can extract that easily. Bear in mind that the page title is not going to be visible to the user (there will be no window manager running), so it doesn't matter if the title is not relavent to the content.

It would also help if the URL of the previous page could be placed in the title also, that way I can move back through the pages in a more 'reliable' manner.

The responsability for this would obviously be on Robbie, so is that OK (Robbie?)? The forward tag could certainly be done without any extra effort, and I don't think it will be too much extra to add in the backwards URL also.
