Sajag,
You don't want to approach this problem from the user's side (browser), you
want to control it from the server side (i.e. you as the programmer).
The following headers have worked for me in my JSP pages. You may want to
use all of them, or just some of them, depending on your requirements.
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");//HTTP 1.0 refetch
completely next time document is
needed.
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");//HTTP 1.1
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy
server, refetches ONLY if it
has been modified since last fetch
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store"); //HTTP 1.1
Hope this helps!

Subject: Writing scripts to the browser
Hey guys,
Does anyone know how to write script to the browser so that you can tell
the broswer to go get the file each time from the server instead of from the
cache.
For instance, if I change the option on IE, under tools, internet options,
settings, and click the Get New Version for Every visit to the page, my app
works fine, other wise it gets the cached version with older results.
So is there a way to check this everytime time and to automatically reset
it to my needs. Any feedback would be of great help. Thanks
Sajag
