Subject: Newbie: Trouble With Browser Loading Old Page
> Hello!
>
> I have a page that cfoutputs text from a database and allows a user to
> update the text content. The user simply fills in a form field and clicks
> update. I use an update template that updates the database with the new
text
> the user typed in.
>
> At the end of the update template I use <CFLOCATION> to go back to the
page
> in question. Unfortunately, the browser keeps showing a local copy and
not
> the updated version, unless I hit refresh on the browser.
>
> I searched the CF resources for an answer and thought I found it at
> houseoffusion (excerpt at bottom )
> with:
>
> <CFLOCATION URL="index.cfm?norefresh=#Rand()#">
>
> Unfortunately, the browser still loads a local copy even though the URL is
> always different.

> Any help would be greatly appreciated!

> "The key to creating a workaround for this situation is to know that
> browsers identify a page by its URL--if the URL is the same as the one it
> just cached locally, it uses the local copy. Accordingly, you can simply
> append a dynamically created variable name to the URL, thereby producing a
> new URL and forcing the browser to make a subsequent call to the server to
> retrieve the new, and up-to-date, page. Here is an example of the code you
> can use to do this:
>
> <CFLOCATION URL="index.cfm?norefresh=#Rand()#">
>
> Rand() returns a random number in the range of 0 to 1, including
fractions,
> so the URL will be different each time you call it, which forces the
browser
> to request the page again from the server. That, in turn, ensures the most
> current information will be displayed."
