Dumb HTML Question $5 Paypal

[Dailydiapers]

I'm drawing a blank (damn WYSIWYG editor's have made me stupid)

What's the code to force browsers to request the latest version of a page?

Ever since I took the frames out of my site I am getting "Why haven't you updated your site" complaints when I have, so people are getting cached versions.

I have never heard of or experienced anything like that. When I update my pages, everyone sees the updated version.

Is it possible you are making an error in uploading to your server?

And who is your host?

* pay attention to the cache related meta tags

That's close, but even they reccomend using the HTML cache controls over Meta

Uploading correctly and most see the updates, but some get the outdated versions. I suspect they are dialup users and others using the speed boosters that just load cached pages to make it seem faster.

Host is way3 - dedicated server with them and HIGHLY reccomend them. Service and support have been great.

I'm sorry but you said HTML tags. That's what I provided. I think you are talking about HTTP controls, which would be sent in the header of the document (not HTML). In that case, it would depend on your site and how you want to implement it.

PHP:

ASP:
http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=php+cache+control

htaccess:
http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=...+cache+control

Hope that helps.

you might be right about the dial-ups, I really dont know.

The code KillSwitch posted looks promising, though. I figured if there was a code for it, it would be a META code/command. Might work for you.

Speed boosters and even some dial up providers cache the pages themselves... which means that it doesn't matter what you put on your page, the end user will see what's on the booster or dial up server, not on yours.

That's what I was thinking
