Though, I have noticed that pages on <strong>A</strong>lmost <strong>O</strong>n<strong>L</strong>ine do not necessarily follow the rule. <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/sad.png" title="Sad" alt="Sad" class="smiley-content" /></p> <p> 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:</p> <p>1) meta tags, placed between the head tags</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Vinny</p> Tue, 21 Nov 2000 15:40:14 +0000 Vincent Puglia comment 1074376 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
