we use VSD for our site..no problems there :)

BUT...when we update a page within the site, is there a way to be sure the user sees the new page without having them do a 'refresh' or clear cache?

basically, when we remove a link from a page, we don't want it visible anymore to users who have been to the site before.

seems simple, but for our application this is very important.

thanks all!

Unfortunately that is one of the pitfalls of Web design and the way different browsers, firewalls and anti-virus applications work together. Many of these programs for whatever reason, cache the data so your "Web experience" seems faster.

You could try adding this code to your header to see if it helps. I have always had mixed success with it.


<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">


OR

<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

i found something similar when doing a search of the forums, and it seems to do the trick :)

but, when the page is changed inside of VSD, the code i put in goes away :( so i have to open the html file after saving in VSD to add it back. as its only one page i'm concerned about, this is not a big issue.

we'll see how it goes.

thanks!

To add this to your header, go to the Edit Menu > Edit Header

After you save your Website, that new code will be listed in the block of code under this area:

<!--html inserted by user-->
