Some i have changed, yet when i chat with some of them they still got the plder version stored in their favorites.. thats really bad, and they dont know what to do.. I have made a sticky explaining to them how to clear their browsers cache files.. and they got no clue what to doo..

If you told them what to do, aside from going to their houses and doing it for them, there isn't anything you can do. Favorites shouldn't be what's storing the what the page looks like, but the location. Their browser is storing the page in their cache. They need to clean it out. Usually, resetting the browser will solve the problem.

Well, There is no code that will work universally for EVERYTHING. There is always going to be a downside to something. The first solution i posted should work for major browsers like IE/Netscape/Mozilla. The second solution i posted is a little less multi-browser compatible *i think*, but im not sure, i use my suggested method
 And no, your pages wont technicallyt load any slower, atleast not to a point where it is remotely noticable. The only way it might seem like the site loads slower is that the page hasnt been cached anywhere. But this is what you want, you want your dynamic pages to be dynamic, so this is the solution. You cant realisticly instruct your visitors to clear their cache to make sure they are viewing the latest version of your page, LOL |
