Hi:

I have an ASP application in which the data on a given page is largely
static throughout the day and the page should be read from the local
cache.....

...except once in a great while, when the user changes something in the
database, I want my local script to force explorer to go get a *fresh* copy
of the page from the server.

Anyway to delete a specific page from the cache?   Or anyway to force the
browser to browse a given page (in specific circumstantces!) *without*
looking at the cache?


thanks in advance for your help......

Do something like this in your HTML code:
<BODY ... onLoad("document.location = self.location")>

That should do it. Please look into the exact syntax in one of the
JavaScript references.

Also doing a Response.Expires = 0 helps, but I have seen that it doesnot
work correctly on IE 4.0

Good luck !

I didn't know that about IE 4.0 and Expires = 0. I wonder if setting an
absolute expires date, in the past, would work? eg Expires = "Fri, 28
Aug 1971 00:00:00 GMT" .
