My calendar page, http://www.suzyandbyron.com/Calendar.html, has a CoffeeCup Web Calendar in the middle of it, but it does not always show all the events. Many are missing until you do a refresh.
I need to know if there is a way to put some kind of code somewhere so that the calendar page will automatically do a refresh every time it is accessed by everyone.
Can this be done? If so, please help!!
Thanks!

It can be quite disturbing to visitors when the page keeps getting refresh while reading, you can perhaps explore the AJAX solution, more details here :-

Thank you guys!!
I'm looking for just one refresh as soon as the page appears. Is there any way of doing that?
thanks!

Byron,
I think we may have been stuck thinking about the word REFRESH. Maybe what you really want is for the page to load fresh each time? If so, keeping the browser from caching the code should force a fresh load each time.
Give this a try and see if it does what you want:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
If the page is large, the lack of cache will slow down subsequent views of the page that would have been loaded from cache.
Let me know if that does what you want.

YES!! Exactly Bill!!
Where does this code go? In the <Head> section?
If so, do I add the code to the header section of the calendar page from Visual Site Designer or do I add it to index.htm & index.html?

Byron,
Just located two more meta codes that might also work.
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
The first one I think is just another way of doing what I posted in the previous message. The second one tells the browser to reload cache each visit.

ok... what should I try and where do I place them? I'm not familiar with this stuff. Should I put more that one of them in there?

Byron,
The meta tags belong in the head section of your site. The code would look something like this:
I would try the meta tags one at a time and test them to see if they do what you want. Then test with a different browser, and see if you need to add one of the others to work with the other browser.
I have glanced at your site. Wish I had the ability to create things that look nice. I get my son and daughter-in-law to help me with the look and feel things. I tend to be technical and mechanical.
The meta tags belong in the head section of your site. The code would look something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Your site page</title><!-- displays at the top of the browser-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="yoursite.css" type="text/css">
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Hello again Bill
Well... I tried a couple of the recommended codes, but to no avail. First, I tried...
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
I incerted this by itself in the header of the Calendar Page. Then I tried...
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
Both were together. This is how it currently stands.
I seems that a refresh is an F5 function. Is there anyway of forcing an F5 as soon as the Calendar Page opens?
Please go to my Calendar Page again and tell me how many blue boxes you see when you first go to that page. If you only see one blue box, then hit refresh and it should change to 5 blue days.
Go to www.suzyandbyron.com and click the Calendar tab on the left.
Let me know what you see. And please let me know what i should try next.
Thanks a bunch!!
