I have a flash site that is loaded to an htm page.
I would like to know the code, and where in the htm page the code goes, on how to clear the browsers cache when they come to the site, so the most current version of the site is being seen. :) for people, like my Mom, who has no clue she's seeing an older cached version of a site.

And on the side , is there a way to set that to clear cache if like, not visited in 1 week, or some time span between visits? Actually the first question (clear cache and load current content), is the most important, but I think the side question could help me on some other of my sites. Thanx for looking. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated! :thumbup:

Thanks for the link...
I tryed it at http://www.sec-llc.com/supplier.html... but I ran into one problem, :stupid: which may not be connected to the caching issue. On this page.. the links, (Supplier Quality Development Manual, Key Characteristic Designation System, etc) I have the links set up to pull up the associated documents...(I am using dreamweaver mx2004) I have a setting there : Target="_blank" for each of the links, my understanding is that this will load the docs in a seperate browser window. (Works for me in Flash), but as I test this page, it loads in the current page. Could you take a look at this for me? Thanks again for the link, I have utilized the information, I think it's working. :)

hang on.... think I had the wrong file loaded up... checking...

Yep, just loaded the wrong html file... sorry about the confusion :dunce2:, but, :poke: hey while your here, do ya think the
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">
is working on this page... http://www.sec-llc.com/supplier.html? :)

Seems OK.
But what's "Click to View or Download with Acrobat Reader" meant to do?

ah... yea, instructions on how to use the links. Pretty redundent. removing. Thanks, good eye! :thumbup:

and... while I updated that, it let me test to see if the cache was cleared. Worked like a charm. :banger: Thanks again
