Is there a way of always ensuring people always see the latest version of a webpage rather than one stored in their temp documents? Ie. stops them needing to press refresh when they visit the page a 2nd time?
 
Thats great, thanks!

For the reference of others, add:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

in the <head>
 

I always use that in conjunction with two other tags:

Code:
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Mon, 5 Jan 2004 11:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />

That's not to say that the one you are using won't always work, but the others have to be there for a reason, right? ;o)

Hope this helps,
Dan
