Front Page Question 1

[Guest_imported]

After I modify my web page. How do I keep people from having to hit their refresh button to view it.

Thanks in advance I tried every thing that I could think of.

I'm assuming that you're going into the site after you've updated it and seeing that it hasn't been updated even though you know it has been.

What's happening is that when you visit a web site, it downloads the page into your computer so that the next time you go to the site, it loads faster. Sometimes it reloads the old page instead of the newer one. The best solution for you is to empty the Temporary Internet Directory often. I've found, oddly enough, that I was the only one who was affected by this problem, and only right after I'd loaded the site. No one else has had any trouble seeing the updates!

Usually, the default settings for a user will reload the page upon accessing it again during the next session. However, you can also set up a meta tag to recache the page everytime it is accessed...

Look for 'reload', 'refresh', and 'expires' in some HTML reference. I'm not sure if IIS will interpret these values correctly but references will usually indicate if it's understood by various web servers.
