IE6. Doesn't refresh changed web pages

[bandbookers]

On a couple of XP Pro PCs.

When the user visits a web site and completes some on-line details, when they view the details they've entered the updated page doesn't contain the details they've entered, but on another XP PC logging into the same web site the details are complete. Now, I've had something similar on my own XP PC. After updating a web site I was developing the updated pages refused to load and IE6 refused to update the new page, and continued to pull older pages from the browser cache. Using View/Refresh or F5 didn't resolve the problem until I flushed the cache using the 'delete files' option on Tools.

I have not noticed this behaviour on Windows 2000 PCs, only XP Pro. Any ideas out there?

In IE, Tools, Internet Options, General Tab, Temporary Internet Files--Settings

Try a different choice of when the page is updated.

Also, it might be worth adding "?" onto the end, whenever I have had this problem it seems to do the job.

example:

http://websiteaddress.com/default.htm?

Also, try holding down the Shift key when you refresh - it tells the browser to ignore its cache and reload the page and all its associated images, CSS files, etc.

If Shift does not work, try Ctrl F5.
