PostBack feature in JavaScript

I know that ASP has an IsPostBack funtion that is very useful for seeing if a page is being requested by a back, forward, .... method, but is there anything like it in JavaScript?? Right now I am doing it with cookies and it is about 60 lines of code where as I would much rather have one conditional call. I know I should just change the page to .aspx but I don't want to.

Thanks,

P.S.
Also if anyone has their screen resolution set to less than 1024X768 could you please test www.kjtfs.jodohost.com for me. You should get an alert on the first time you visit the page and not anyother times. Dont bother clicking the links this is only a test site for my new features. If you want the actual web site goto www.kjtfs.com.

Thanks again,
KJTFS
 
You could do it the old way... just make a hidden form field with a value in it, then at the top of your code check for it. If it's blank, it's not a postback. If it's the value you placed in the form field, then it's a postback... because the definition of a postback is a form submit.

Besides this, you probably mean the function "Page.IsPostBack", which is available in ASP.NET only (not ASP)
 
Yes StPatrick, I do mean ASP.NET, come on who is still using ASP?? Just Kidding. I did actually think about using a hidden label/control at first. But now that I have pondered on it for a while I think I will leave the cookies, I have more control of when they expire, I rather remind someone every 3 or so days about the alert not everytime they enter the site.

Thanks,
