| Don't cache my page! |
Most WWW browsers will cache or keep
a local copy of your pages to speed-up future viewing of those pages. Depending on how a
browser is setup, it might display a cached out-of-date version of your pages, specially
if you update your pages often. To help browsers decide how long a cached copy of your
pages should be in use before retrieving a newer copy from the original web site, you
could use following HTML tags: <META
HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma"
CONTENT="no-cache">
Above META tags should be placed in between your <HEAD> and </HEAD>
tags. Also note that the specified date should be a date in the past so that the browser
will immediately discard the cached copy or not cache it at all.
Why use two tags you ask? Although " Expires" tag is properly
handled by most browsers, some older browsers may still look for the "no-cache"
tag. If you're not worried about users with old browsers, using the "Expires"
tag alone is sufficient and will make it possible to specify the exact time to expire
content. |
