How to detect/track postback in javascript?

Question

How to detect/track/check postback in javascript(e.g in asp.net Page.isPostBack())? Any suggestion?

Answer 1

ASPX:

<input type="hidden" id="_ispostback" value="<%=Page.IsPostBack.ToString()%>" /> 

Client-side Script:

function isPostBack() { //function to check if page is a postback-ed one   return document.getElementById('_ispostback').value == 'True'; } 

PS: I have not tested it but I've done somthing similar before and it works.
