Refresh page onload ONCE ONLY - 12/5/2004 8:53:04
My question is so simple but I am struggling to find an answer that works - including having searched previous threads in this forum!
How does one cause a page to be refreshed ONCE ONLY when it is loaded into the visitor's browser?
HTML? SCRIPT? WHATEVER? Any offers of a solution that works?
Thanks, Rick

Hi Rick,
This thread here has a few good suggestions, including:
<Body onLoad=window.refresh>
Good luck.

Thanks Kitka
I previously tried all those options! The Body onLoad doesn't do the trick if someone returns to the page using either favs or back-button. The javascript one just sent the browser into a furious array of milisecond refreshes! The 'no cache' one didn't seem to do much - maybe it only works if the page hasn't already been previously cached - no good for return visitors.
It seems that some have asked the question "why?" does someone want to do this. I am thinking that it must be a well-used trick all over the web but just can't find how to do it but maybe I'm going about what I want to achieve wrongly???
My reason is simply that I want all repeat visitors to see the latest content on the page not their previously cached version. Am I missing a more obvious way to achieve this? - Anyone?
Thanks again, Rick

An alternative?
<body onLoad="if (location.href.indexOf('reload')==-1) location.replace(location.href+'?reload')">
