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

Nope. This situation cannot be handled as whenever the Refresh/F5 is clicked the page is not shown from browser cache. Instead the previous form action is re-submitted to the server and the server responds back freshly. At this moment your flag will be in ON state and the alert will appear once the task is complete.

If it is that critical and if you can restrict the user from clicking F5/refresh then maintain the state in the session and put the flag there and inform him that either he has already done the operation once / he cannot do a refresh operation with your application. But am not sure whether this solution is appropriate and matches with your requirement.
