I have my own site. When I update a page, it won't display
the changes in IE6. It displays a cached version. Have
tried clearing temporary files but no joy. Tried both
doing it through the tools options facility in IE6, and
also through a search (which uncovered a few temporary
internet folders I didn't know I had - probably left over
from IE 5.5).
The new page is definitely there as I can see it on
another PC through a different ISP. Is there somewhere
these cached pages are hiding?

Sounds like you have done all the right things. My guess is that your ISP is
caching it, in which case, there is nothing you can do to impact it.

POSSIBLE WORKAROUND:
Try adding an empty query string to the end of the URL
(e.g., 'somedomain.com?' or 'somedomain.com?id=').
It may fool the cache into treating it as a new page.
 
Have you gone into Tools/Internet
Options/General/Temporary Internet Options, clicked the
Settings button, and set the Update to Automatically or
Every Visit to the Page? If your setting is Never, you'll
never get the update. I had a client yesterday that had
that setting, so even though it's rare to be on Never, it
does happen.
 
It is set to every visit

I just made an upgrade from IE5.5 to IE6.0. Now I have a problem, that I. E.
is not working with any HTML tag:
e.g.<META http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=/....">
Answer: I found it.
In the IE-Options->security, I had to allow "META REFRESH".
