Hi,

Is there anyway I could turn off caching on my ISP's server? I have developed a new site for my customer but the problem is everytime he visits it, the website still shows the old coached version. He had deleted all temp files in his PC's history and tempoary Internet files folders, but to no avail.

Is this a problem with his dialup ISP or is it with the host I'm using? I've just switched over to a new host coloc with VDI net.

Hold down CTRL and click refresh at the same time.

Thanks Marc! It's a good one.

Btw, is it with my dial-up ISP or is it with the web host? I do not have this problem before.

It could even be a local cache in memory somewhere.

The best part is .. It was working fine for another site hosted on another server. It refreshes without problems. Maybe its a new feature of IE5.5??? :)

The method that Marc recommended -> ctrl+refresh works like a charm.

you could also add
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"> between the <head> and the </head> section of the page. That worked for me on my webcam page!
