Are you using window.onLoad or DOMContentLoaded. If you are worried about them pressing the "back" button then use window.onLoad because it waits till everything is done loading, not till the DOM content is ready to be manipulated. It shouldn't hurt anything if they press the "back" button, unless it's an auto-load Ajax, and if that is the case, you can use some tricks that JQuery has built into it.

I don't want the functions to get executed if the page is loaded because the user clicks on the browser forward/back button. Is there a way to prevent the document ready functions from getting executed if the user clicks on the forward/back button? Thank you.
