hi all

I'm on Windows, and did set cache limit to the lowest value, and
turned on "reload the page on every visit".
still it looks like it doesn't actually "turn the cache off": the
lowest value for cache limit is 1M on IE, and some elements, like html
inside frames, seem to be cached anyway.
about flash content, you can use the method bernard described, add a
random string to the swf url, but as far as I know, the most important
thing you'll have to do to avoid caching of Flash content is to add
random strings to each swf you load inside the main swf, because with
cache "turned off" (ie set to lowest value), the main swf will reload
every time, but probably not the other swfs loaded inside...
in my experience, those thoughts apply to Firefox for Windows also.
