hello-

i update a particular site quite often, and am having complaints from the visitors that they are not seeing the updated content. the answer is obvious and i end up telling them to refresh their browser/clear their cache.

is there a script that i can put in my index.html that will make sure repeat visitors are always seeing the latest update?

thanks.

Use a meta no-cache tag.

I would have posted the whole thing earlier, but I was encumbered by an infant intent on feeding and it's hard to type long messages where the syntax matters with only one hand!
