soliciting all coders and webheads

[Anais North]

I'm not running a stock ticker or anything, but as an SP, we frequently update our sites. And when we have either new or repeat visits, we'd like those content changes to be reflected. I'm looking for the elusive piece of code that refreshes the page automatically with every new or repeat visitor. With repeat visitors, there's the problem of cache (and how their browsers are set). Does the code below just prevent the content from being cached, or does it actually refresh/reload content every visit?

<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

I tried the code below, as someone elsewhere suggested, but it actually does annoyingly refresh the page less than every second.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0">

Any and all help appreciated....

A Quest of sorts!

A Quest of sorts!

A quest indeed, perhaps better suited to a webmaster forum rather than a forum of boobmongers....not that I'm complaining.

Possible answer...

The first one (<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">) tells the browser that you can’t use the go back button in the browser, that you must get new info from the server. This is used to make sure the same page (like a form) can not be submitted more than once.




Try this one. I think it might be better suited for what you are explaining…

<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

 

[Goober Mcfly]

Oh, by the way, you can use the switches CONTENT="NO-CACHE" and CONTENT="GOOBER'S WALLET" interchangeably.

 

[Anais North]

Thanks ycghiydvo....I'll fool around with that code tomorrow...gotta run right now. I think the substitution of PRAGMA with CACHE-CONTROL might be the key...

And Goober, what's with the NO CACHE in your wallet? Did the toonie go right into your mama's change purse?

 

[ycghiydvo]

If I had cache....

I would be in Niagara Falls visiting an SP or two... hehe

<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

OR

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">

OR

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

Or use all three.
