How do you detect when a page has only been refreshed?

I'm trying to write an ASP interface that mimiks a .Net datagrid control.
I'm having a problem when I'm in the middle of an Edit, Update, or a New
Record. If the user hits the wrong button, the program grabs the values in
the textboxes using the request.form() and then redisplays them in the
textboxes when the records table gets written back out to the page. This
works fine as long as the form is submitted. If it's just a page refresh
(F5), the program doesn't get the latest changes to the textboxes and
displays either a blank or whatever was in there the last time the form was
submitted. Anybody got any ideas?
