window.open and cache
A window.open command is not working after I revisit a page that is stored in the hard drive cache. The same problem happens on Mozilla and Internet Explorer. If I clear the cache and refresh the page, the window opens. Or if I re-ftp the page with the javascript code, the window opens.
The code is a standard window.open method.
Any workarounds to this problem?
Cheers,

For now, I'm going to switch the page that opens from an .html to .php file with a no-cache header and see if that works.

try checking the mozilla and ie settings...even though ie often disregaurds it''s settsings. make sure it's set to be checking EVERY time. if you do that in mozilla the cahces are ignored and it always checks
ie will ignore it when it wants to
POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.

The pop-up is for client admin controls so it has to open consistently regardless of their cache settings.

try this meta tag
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">this should give the same result as the php header you are using
IF , ELSE , WHILE isn't that what life is all about

Hi,
if druagord's meta doesn't work, try these 2 (together):
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="0"><META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
