i need to know how to disable the refresh as i am using a timer... so whenever the page is refreshed the timer setting also gets refreshed...which i don't want
basically i am creating a software in PHP used to prepare online queston paper... for that i am using a timer in javascript.. it uses a function called "setTimeout" for which u pass a function which defines what needs to be done on time out and another parameter called the timeinterval(time in millisec)
so if the page gets refreshed the value of function "setTimeout" is also refreshed......
so i want a technique through which i can disable the refresh.....

please help...

with regards,
