javascript event when you hit 'back' onto the page?

Question

What event can i use to run code when a user visits another page then hits back to load my page again?

I wrote window.onload = function() { ... and it works when i hit refresh but not forward then back.

@Marcel Korpel I also do think so, anyway you could possibly work with a cookie (altough a short lived one), if not cookie ther are other techniques like using a script (because it would be most likely be loaded from the cache), but it wouldn't be 100% reliable — dvhh, Oct 19 '10 at 16:44
