Force to reload fresh, not from cache ?

[shine67]

Meta tag,

<meta http-equiv=&quot;expires&quot; content=&quot;0&quot;>,

worked on Netscape but not IE. How can I do that in IE?

 

[starway]

Use any date that has already passed, like

<meta http-equiv=&quot;expires&quot; content=&quot;Mon, 30 Feb 1990 08:21:57 GMT&quot;>

If the document is requested after that date, the browser should always try to load a new copy from the server.

Thanks for the help but Meta tag in general is not supported by IE. Do you know any other way of doing it?

 

[SPYDERIX]

Try this:

<meta http-equiv=&quot;pragma&quot; content=&quot;no-cache&quot;>

It works! Thanks a bunch!
I thought all the meta tag is not working on IE ;-)

Hi,

Just as an extra note, there used to be a problem with IE reading this meta tag and some older broswers may not read it correctly.

I can't find the article but it was on MS website somewhere.

When IE encounters a page it has actually cached some of the page before that tag is processed. The solution that MS gave was to include 2 head sections in your page, one at the top and one at the bottom. This means that when a browser reads the page, if the first tag is not correctly read then the second one is and the part already cached is then removed.

Hope this helps Wullie

Hi mate,

That post was when we discovered that the pragma no-cache didn't work.. There is another post about the same time that explains it..

The asp code is great IF you have asp enabled on the server but if you don't then it won't work..

Hope this helps Wullie

Adding my 2 cents here,

The problem with meta tags is not that they are supported
improperly in IE, but that there is not standard of how
they should be interpreted (I hope I spelled that correctly)

Good luck, BobbaFet

Everyone has a right to my opinion.

HI,

IE5 does not support the pragma no-cache.

IE4 has problems displaying it as I mentioned before..
