No Cache - I need a tag that will prevent browsers from caching my page
Some of my visitors have complained about having to refresh the page in order to see the new content.
I've added the line:
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"> to the <head> part of my page, but it doesn't seem to help?
Anyone know of a tag/trick that will work?

The tag you used is the only one I have seen so far for doing this...but I'll keep an eye out in case I see something else.

You could set the http-equiv="expire" to a value in the past, so the browser always thinks its an old document that has to be reloaded from the server.
You can look up the right syntax for the expires tag @ www.w3.org
Later,
