Hi, Is anyone aware of a little slice of code that will stop client PCs using cached versions of web pages? The reason I ask is that I maintain/update a website for s small club and frustratingly cached pages seem to persist until I click the refresh button (on PCs I have not uploaded the update with....)

Press CTRL+F5 to force a refresh, or turn off cacheing in your browser (don't recommend that last bit).

Thanks GfK, I was hoping that you could actually code something in HTML that would force a page refresh on accessing it.

Try adding this to the head section of your HTML: <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"> <meta http-equiv="no-cache"> <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1"> <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
