I've been beating on this problem for most of the day with no success. For
most of my solutions Netscape works, but IE does not.
I have a popup window that is set to refresh every 5 minutes. I need the
page not be refreshed from the cache, ever.
[meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="600;
URL=http://www.foo.com/dir/popupnews.html"]
Try #1
I added expire tags to the top and bottom of the code.
[META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"]
[META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT"]
[META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1"]
This works great with Netscape. IE pulls from cache.
Try #2
I wrote a javascript that creates a random URI Tag and appends that to the
Refresh Meta Tag.
document.writeln("<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"15;
URL=http://www.foo.com/dir/popupnews.html?RAN="+Math.round(Math.random()*10000)+"\">")
This appears to only work once (the first refresh) with Netscape. And IE
still pulls from cache.
Try #3
Screaming, yelling and threatening bodily harm to both browsers. Neither
cowered in fear. sigh.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
