Notice that: - Internet Explorer often caches pages when it should NOT do it; - Internet Explorer sometimes even uses a cache copy when you refresh; - Some browsers ignore those meta tags. - Proxies (usualy) ignore those meta tags. Solutions I use: - To control page caching I use HTTP headers; - To avoid Internet Explorer caching issues I use Netscape 4.7x (the page doesn't look so good but caching and refresh realy work in a predictable way. For more info on caching issues and the relevant HTTP headers read...
