Forcing their web browser to refresh the page every time???

Hi there

I do a lot of minor updates to my frontage site all the time, but when I
look at it from my web browser, I have to go and hit 'refresh' for it to
show the changes. Of course, that worries me that other browsers would
be the same and people who don't hit refresh everytime will miss all the
new stuff.

Is there a command in Frontpage that makes the browser refresh everytime
and is this command/code needed on every page or on just the first page
of the site?

thanks
 
A follow up to this question

When I am updating code on my local disk web, I will save the code and hit
Refresh in the browser, but the code behaves as if I hadn't changed it.

What do I have to do to force the new stuff to be read? I have tried
FPCleaner but it found no files in FrontPage Temp files or in *.web. In any
case I am not in fact using FP, but simply editing outside in a text editor
and running index.html direct on the local disk web.
 
This is mainly a browser issue on how often to check for new content, instead of using a cache copy,
also be aware that AOL and other ISP also cache content for their users.

If you feel your current issue is a results of installing
a Service Pack or security update, please contact

If the problem can be shown to have been caused by a
security update, then there is usually no charge for the call.

Sorry to drop this in on a completely unrelated matter ( I was browsing for
Frontpage stuff as I am just starting to play with it) but I wondered if you
might have a possible idea on a problem I am having with Service Pack 2.
When I install it everything seems fine but when I go to my browser I cannot
go to any webpages from the address bar, I can select webpages from mails or
from my favourites but if I type anything into the address bar and enter or
click on go nothing happens at all, VERY weird. Sorry for the VERY off topic
posting.

Thanks in advance

Sorry about that, I was going to but I just dropped it in here because of
your reference to Service Pack.

Apologies for hijacking this thread, wont happen again, apart from this time
I guess.

Thanks
