Note: i know that in web application it is must call load function at each time the page reload, but is there any solution that i must do to solve this problem?

You're referring to methods in a page. Is this ASP.NET? – Joseph Yaduvanshi Jun 15 '12 at 13:20 — Joseph Yaduvanshi, Jun 15 '12 at 13:20

You could refresh the page by redirecting to

[urlOfCurrentPage] + "?redirected=true"

and then in the onLoad method check if there is a GET "redirected" parameter in the URL, and if so, skip the onload.

Two options:

You can use cookies. Set a cookie when logging in and check for that during load. Then clear it after performing your initialization so that next load the check will fail.
You can use the address, either as a parameter like ?justLoggedIn, or a value in the hash after #justLoggedIn. Then check for that and redirect to the same url minus the justLoggedIn part. The advantage of the # version is that it doesn't actually reload the page, unlike when using the ? version.

you have to be careful though in using cookie option as security perspective the cookie could be deleted by browser tools such as firebug am i right?! – shareef Jun 17 '12 at 14:14
