The problem I have is that, after uploading content via FTP, the change won't show on the page until you manually refresh using F5 (I'm guessing because it's cached). I've read this forum post on it - http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/m-263489/key-refresh/tm.htm#263489. Can somebody confirm if this is indeed the only way around it? As I'd like to keep page names the same but for content to automatically update after upload for users. My website is designed in html with Dreamweaver. Thanks!

If you're interested - http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/reference/article.php/3472881. I've tried it out and it seems to work. Handy for blogs as well! Sorry to waste your time with the post!

This also does not prevent image caching ( see related blog post here: http://www.texaswebdevelopers.com/blog/template_permalink.asp?id=103 ). _____________________________ Follow us on TWITTER (in reply to chromeman)
