Questions about codes the refresh
I have a few questions.
When you add new stuff to your page how long does it take for a visitor too see the new stuff? Do they get the older stuff for awhile or get new stuff right away?
If it take awhile is there anyway to make your page refresh automatically?
Thanks for your time

Hi Kimberly,
Theoritically, the new page is available as soon as it is posted to the server. Though, I have noticed that pages on Almost OnLine do not necessarily follow the rule.
If the user has his/her browser set to use the saved cache for recently visited web sites (located on the user's hard drive), the new page will not be seen unless the page is refreshed, either manually or through programming. To force a refresh, you can use the following method:
1) meta tags, placed between the head tags
You can also refresh the page with a javascript reload() statement, but unless you know what you are doing, you will end up with an infinite loop.
