receiving, at a browser executing on a computing system, a first web page having first embedded software code;
executing the first embedded software code to store a first navigation attribute;
receiving a request to navigate to a second web page having second embedded software code, the request being initiated by a browser functionality;
loading the second web page to execute the second embedded software code to determine a second navigation attribute;
comparing the second navigation attribute to the first navigation attribute;

providing an indication in the corrected second web page that the navigation control provided by the browser is disabled.
13. The method of claim 12, further comprising receiving the request at the server in response to a browser navigation control provided by a web browser executing on the client computing device.
14. The method of claim 13, further comprising
providing an indication that the corrected second web page has been provided to the client computing device; and
providing an indication that an alternate navigation functionality between the related web pages is being provided as an alternative to the browser navigation control.
15. The method of claim 12, further comprising selectively comparing the second navigation attribute to the first navigation attribute in accordance with an identifier embedded in the first web page.
16. The method of claim 12, further comprising storing the first navigation attribute in a persistent file on the client computing device.
17. A method of providing navigation control between a first web page and a second web page, comprising:
executing, within a browser application executing on a computing device, first embedded software code associated with the first web page to store a first navigation attribute in a cookie file;
communicating a request for the second web page through the browser application;
executing, within the browser application executing on the computing device, second embedded software code associated with the second web page to compare second navigation attribute to the first navigation attribute;
communicating a request for a corrected second web page if the second navigation attribute fails to match a condition set by the first navigation attribute; and
providing an indication in the corrected second web page that the navigation control provided by the browser is disabled.
18. The method of claim 17, wherein the second embedded software code requests a predetermined Uniform Resource Locator (URL) from a web server to retrieve the corrected second web page based on an identifier provided with the first web page.
19. The method of claim 17, wherein the condition is determined based on the first navigation attribute being one of a string value, a time stamp, or a Boolean function.
20. A method of managing browser navigation, comprising:
receiving, at a browser executing on a computing system, a first web page having first embedded software code;
executing the first embedded software code to store a first navigation attribute;
receiving a request to navigate to a second web page having second embedded software code, the request being initiated by a browser functionality;
loading the second web page to execute the second embedded software code to determine a second navigation attribute;
comparing the second navigation attribute to the first navigation attribute; requesting a corrected second web page if the second navigation attribute fails to match a condition set by the first navigation attribute; and
providing a second navigation control in the second corrected web page;
requesting subsequent corrected web pages if a subsequent navigation attribute fails to match a condition set by the second navigation attribute.
21. A method of providing navigation control between related web pages, comprising:
receiving, at a web server, a request for a first web page;
providing the first web page having first embedded software code that is executed by a client computing device to store a first navigation attribute on the client computing device;
receiving a request at the web server to navigate to a second web;
providing the second web page having second embedded software code that is executed by the client computing device to compare a second navigation attribute associated with the second web page to the first navigation attribute, the second embedded software code instructing the client computing device to request a corrected second web page based on a result of the comparing the second navigation attribute to the first navigation attribute;
