issue on onload() event

[pendem]

hi..,
i have a strange requirement over here.., i need to set a <div> hidden when a page is loaded for the first time and i need to put the <div> visible when the page is reloaded (i mean after the first time on wards..).

Iam setting the <div> visibility properties using window.onload() event..,so when the page is first loaded using onload function it will set the <div> invisible, and later i need the <div> to be visible when i reload the page..,how can i do that?

so how to identify the scenario of whether the page is loaded for the first time or loaded for more then one time..

Suggestions appreciated.,thanx.

indirectly it means identifying that the page has been loaded for the 2nd time..,so checkin that condition we can set the <div> visibility accordingly..,but how to identify whether the page has been loaded for the first time? or else reloaded?

hi ...

onload of you page you may set/read a cookie to achieve that ...

in case the cookie is set already the user had to have the page loaded once :) another way would be to store a flag for that issue at the serverside.

kind regards
