    Firefox reload page

    Hi,

    Hi,
    In firefox I can't get a page (which queries an SQL database and shows
    all the available records) to re-fresh with new updated data after a
    'javascript:his tory.go(-4)' is used to return to the page after a new
    record is added.

    I have the following code in the page which displays the records:

    <%
    Response.Buffer = True
    Response.Expire sAbsolute = Now() - 1
    Response.Expire s = 0
    Response.CacheC ontrol = "no-cache"
    %>

    This should make it completly refresh the page rather than load it
    from the IIS server cache.

    Also I added:

    <meta http-equiv="no-cache">
    <meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
    <meta http-equiv="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">

    Which should mean that it's not reloading from any local browser
    cache.

    Anyone any ideas as to how to force a complete reload.
    I should mention that the page is in a frame, and that doing
    'right-click'->'This frame'->'Reload Frame' works as it should and
    refreshes the data properly.

    thanks for any help,
    Dave

      Isn't that the correct behavior? Cache control is for subsequent *requests*.
      You are not sending one.

      "History mechanisms and caches are different. In particular history
      mechanisms SHOULD NOT try to show a semantically transparent view
      of the current state of a resource. Rather, a history mechanism is
      meant to show exactly what the user saw at the time when the
      resource was retrieved."

      Yes. Stop (ab)using history. Force the browser to send a request. Any of
      these are options:

      Response.Redire ct(...)
      window.location .replace(...)
      window.location = "..."
      <a href="...">Upda ted View</A>
