Refresh thang 2

[gashed99]

I've made a web site for a local music band.

http://bontempsrouler.free.fr

They asked me to constantly update the web site with their concert dates. The problem I'm having is:

After I've made the updates I upload them to my FTP site but when I view them on the web the pages stay the same, unless you click on the refresh button or delete "temp internet files".
I'm not sure how to write in the html code an automatic refresh function when the page loads?? also the site contains a Flash movie which I don't know how to refresh that too (without deleting "temp internet files&quot??

If somebody could help with this I'd be most grateful.

Have a look at this (1st document in the list)
Shows how to prevent caching of SWF files in memory.

Not too sure about HTML but ill look into it Nick Price

You could insert this META tag, where 'webpage.html' is the name of the page that contains the tag. This will periodically refresh the page for you, in this case every 7 seconds.

<META content=7;url=webpage.html http-equiv=refresh>

If you use the following, it's like the same tag with a date but no caching at all should be possible after that.
Which doesn't mean all proxies respect it...

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

allow thyself to be the spark that lights the fire
