does anyone know how i can make a web browser automatically reload a page instead of loading the one thats stored in the history..... basically so that if someone goes on my site and then comes back shortly afterwards, the browser will refresh ;)

:) many thanks

There is a way to do this with meta tags

Im fairly sure that inserting this towards the start of your html will do it but i've never tried it so it doesnt work then let me know ;)


<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">

Should be inserted in your <head> section after any <title> tag, by the way

the best browser for doing this is firefox. i think you press shift and r or something.... safari is crap for it, so is ie...

If you're on Mac you should check out Camino (http://www.caminobrowser.org/), it's an OS-X optomisation of Firefox.

Firefox is quality

Mark I think you might be talking about getting a page to reload automatically every 2 minutes or whatever

Slightly different but theres a meta tag to do that too
