Possible cache problem??

I was less than thrilled when my site didn't work properly at a client. I came back and hit the site on the same server and there were not problems!?!? It was acting like the home page was cached (on the clients computer) or something.
I would click a link that is supposed to set a session variable on the home page that would hide a menu. When click the link, page loads exactly the same! It happens at client but not here!

Anybody had a similar experience??
 
Try adding this code to your URL.

norefresh=#Rand()#

like so...

<CFLOCATION URL=&quot;index.cfm?norefresh=#Rand()#&quot;>

Browswers should see it as a new page and refresh. I've had this problem on IE 5.0 vs. Netscape. Netscape will refresh but IE will not. The Rand() function seems to take care of the problem.

For more info., here's the link where I found the answer.

 
Hey Pixes,

Did you check to see if the client's browser had cookies enabled? Without them, your sessions would have trouble if you didn't pass the cfid/token manually. There are a number of things that could cause what you saw but this would be my first guess.

Good luck,
GJ
 
Client's proxy server is the culprit. Partially solved it by adding IP in Tools>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings. Still acting funny though. I think you're suggestions will help, thanks!
