Dashcode - webform - back

Question

I am writing a mulit-level list where I have 3 different lists I want to Traverse. After playing around with Stack-Layout for a while I realized that to navigate the 12 layers of the 3 different lists I would need to create 12 views.
So I abandonded this and put a side-to-side list inside a browser inside a custom container and wrote a little bit of code to change the URL as I navigate down.
Brilliant. Worked Great. But when I navigate backup using the back button it does not refresh the data. I figured I needed to write an event to attach to the back button and that fires but the data does not refresh and on the home button it is blank.
Written in Pseudo Code here is what I wrote
function backButtonFired()
var browser = getbrowser // remember is pseudo code
var list = getlist
var dataset = getdataset
var parent = dataset.objects["parentid"] // still pseudo code not exact syntax
dataset.setparameter(parameter.idparent, parent)
list.refreshData.
Anyway it all runs but the data does not refresh. Any ideas helps or hints would be greatly appreciated.

I've been struggling with this same problem for hours and after loads of fruitless searching and messing around, I've finally solved it.
Finally found a solution when I realised that all the javascript code for the dashcode parts is stored here:
/Developer/Applications/Dashcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/CYKit.framework/Resourc es/Parts
I had a look at browser.js and at the top it lists the public methods/properties and 2 minutes later I had this working.  Bit frustrating as this is not complicated and just a tiny bit of documentation on dashcode parts would have saved me a lot of time.
Anyway, the browser.goForward() method can take a third parameter called backHandler which is a callback function called when back is clicked, so all you need to do is pass your backButtonFired function and you should be good to go, e.g.
  browser.goForward('newviewid', 'New Title', function(){
    alert('Back Clicked!');
    list.reloadData()
    //etc
Hope this is in time to be some help to you still and to anyone else struggling with the lack of documentation for dashcode parts would recommend taking a look in the above folder!
