alert message at load time gives alert at refresh

[Pro79]

HI
I am making one application in struts. I have to display alerts when some work is complete. what i do i set some variables in request and at load time i put a javascript function then it works.
but if i refresh the page or after going another page i come back to previous page i get the same alert.
I coming back to page by using javascript.history(-1). I can handle this javascript but i am not able to handle those variables if the page is refreshed.

is there any other way to give this alert.

Waiting for reply
Thankyou
Regards

Drop a cookie on the system... If the cookie is there - keep quiet, if it ain't, show the alert. It's not perfect, but it should help you out for ninety-nine percent of cases.
