I think that Q234067 number is a calling code, calls that info from database, or in html terms its an anchor, like link would go if click on (totally different but goes somewhere but id name or number.

did you try

as mentioned on that page?

how are you testing? if your testing on your own machine it may be caching through local folders, clear your internet temp folder and test with opera, opera is bad for holding onto cached files, so if opera wont cache it, the others shouldnt either.

Anyone else have any ideas???

No, the pages are still being cached.

I don't think that Q number is the ID of the question becasue like I said, I see that number next to the users browser when they visit my page.

Hope someone can help me

As far as I know that is just the ID number of the question itself....

I dont think it has anything to do with your caching issues. Is everything working now?

Ok I tried using the META tags you suggested, and I even found another link on them to verify them at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q234067 but the pages are still being cached. I empty and watch my temporary internet files folder and the pages keep popping up in there!

I do have one question that maybe someone can answer. Click on the above link, see where it says "(Q234067)"? What is that number? I noticed one user viewed my site and there browser was reported as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Q312461)" - I see another similar Q number there. My browser is reported as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)".

Can anyone tell me what that Q number represents? Perhaps version number? Maybe that is why the META tags in my page don't prevent cacheing.

Busy,

Ok, if I use thoes methods then the pages will not be cached. I'm sure that some browser can be configured to ignore this.

What about my images?? Will thoes still be cached or will the user have to download them every time?

Thanks,

different browsers have different support for meta tags (suprise suprise) so you really need all 3 of the above.
other useful meta tag stuff can be found here http://vancouver-webpages.com/META/ (bottom frame)

Hope this helps, if not the CF pros will be along soon

Yes and no. Ok, a users login session in managed with Cold Fusion session variables. But I check to see if that user is logged in, if they are then I set a cookie, if they are not logged in then I set a cookie with the same name to expire.

I set a cookie using CFCOOKIE without passing it the "expires" attribute. Doing so never actually sends the cookie to the client, it is stored in the servers memory. So a cookie is never actually sent to the client. I've emptied and watched my temporary internet files and cookies folder to make sure a cookie is never sent.

One thing that is weird is when the session variable for the user says they are not logged in, i set the cookie value to "EXPIRED". So then where I normaly see the logged in users name (the name is read from the "cookie" when the user is logged in) i see "EXPIRED" because its reading from the cookie. The session variable isn't totaly destroyed until the user closes the browser.

I just can't figure out why this is happening. This code was ran off my local machine and the ip address of recipebomb.com and was never changed.

I'm pretty sure that making sure the pages aren't cached will solve the problem, like I said pressing refresh corrects it right now.

you can use the meta no cache tag
are you using cookies?
