Is there a better (any other?) way to force a page not to be cached but instead fetched from the server every time, other than using the META EXPIRES tag at the top of the page. That's the only way I found and am interested to learn if there are others. Thanks! ++Lar

(...) IIRC, there is a pragma no-cache that you can add to the HTTP headers. --Todd (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

In the header of the page add: <META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE"> This tag also keeps pages from being cached by proxy servers... (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
