How do I force the page to refresh from the server?

Hi,

I want my page to refresh from the server every time - but somehow it still seems to get cached.

I have the following HTML:

<META http-equiv=expires content="Wed, 14 Jul 2004 00:00:00 GMT">
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

What else do I need to force a refresh?

TIA.

I usually find that the best (and often only) way to get a true refresh is to use server-side code to prevent caching.

Here's an ASP sample:

Code:

Response.Expires = 0
Response.Expiresabsolute = Now() - 1
Response.AddHeader "pragma","no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control","private"
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"

I also have a page that I need to be refreshed each time it is opened. Could someone go into depth as to how to do this. I am a newbie and don't have any what to do.

Thanks
