If you're using PHP, often time's IE won't reload the page no matter
what you do. The way around that has been for to add this code
to every single page, or rather to a file that is included on every page.

<?
header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");    // Date in the past
header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");  // HTTP/1.1
header ("Pragma: no-cache");                          // HTTP/1.0
?>
