Hello All,
I put a 'no-cache' tag in the head of one of my HTML docs and I still have to clean out my browser's cache, even after I've realoaded the page by clicking the refresh button in IE 5.0.
Here's the header, take a look and let me know if I missed something. Do I need to move it closer to the top?

Not all browsers support this tag as with any other tag. While the W3C puts out a recommended list of Tags for a HTML specification, the browser company gets to decide whether or not they it and to what extant. I believe that Microsoft's implementation of this tag is spotty at best and it should be used with caution.

Well,

I checked the documentation you pointed to and I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks a lot!

The Netscape issue was null as it worked just fine in Netscape, but with IE, it still won't do what I want it to and I'm applying the code suggested.
It's a simple forum at http://www.cosmicairbrush.com/forum/. Please take a look and let me know what's going on.

I just tried it and it worked just fine for me too. But if you still have time, another look would be greatly appreciated.

it seemed to work fine for me, the page wasn't cached. I also looked at your code and didn't see anything that would make it not work... i'll look at it again tonight just to make sure.

Hello,
Try this code, it might work:
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

Fluffer,
We got it to work, butI'll definately add that bit of code to my bag of tricks

DynaMike, I just looked at it again and it seems to work just fine.
