ensuring new content is seen

[elang]

how does one ensure that visitors to a webpage see the newest content? I'm having problems with vistors having pages and pictures cached and not seeing new pictures and/or page modifications. How do I make it pull from web server if content is newer than their computer's cache?

thanks for the help.

I know that there is a javascripst running around for that. I looked for it on javascript.com, but I could not find it. I used it at one time, I just could not find it. Sorry.

Yes - there is some JavaSript that will do it. I don't have it to hand either! A quick search will reveal that - and probably this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">

The above in the meta tag region of your page will make it automatically try to refresh itself every 60 seconds.

Could you please email me the tag. It didn't show up in the thread. Could you also show me how to set it up.

Thank you,

Opps - this board is smarter than I thought!

I have updated my original post.

You need to insert the code in the head tag - see below:

&lt;html&gt;<br>
&lt;head&gt;<br>
&lt;title&gt;Page title goes here&lt;/title&gt;<br>
&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=iso-8859-1&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;60&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;/head&gt;<br>
&lt;body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; text=&quot;#000000&quot;&gt;<br>
Your page content goes here... <br>
&lt;/body&gt;<br>
&lt;/html&gt;

Good luck.
