The FrontPage Back and Next links use Navigation Bars. The links are
calculated when the page is saved and the hyperlinks are hard coded to point
to the adjacent pages in navigation view. They do not emulate the browser
Back and Forward buttons.
You could investigate opening the cart pages in a new browser window (the
"buy now" links will include the attribute target="_blank", then closing
the cart will re-establish the original product page. The browser Back
button, and JavaScript emulations, will work perfectly.
However, if the user does not close the cart, it is possible that purchasing
several products will result in several carts being opened - all showing
different information. Which window is the current window?
Using target="cart" in the links will limit the number of cart windows to
one, but if the user minimises the window, a subsequent transaction will
leave it minimised, possibly leaving the user in a state of confusion.
