how to reload a page only once on open? 1

[wvdba]

Hi.
i have an asp page (page1.asp). when i return from a different page page3.asp back to this page using:

<A HREF="javascript:history.go(-2)">Back to page1</A>

i have to refresh the page once only so that it can pick up the data. i'm using this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2">

which refreshes every 2 seconds. i just like for it to refresh only once upon returning to the page. is it possible?
thanks.

if page1 is an ASP page (vbscript) you can disable page caching and force a refresh on every visit:

Add this to the TOP (very first two lines) of page1

<%
response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache"	
%>
