Hi everyone... I recently designed a site which received regular updates, however, unless you click the refresh button or clear your cache, the updates don't show up... they just show the version that's already been stored.<br />
<br />
I searched for forums on here and came up with this thread:<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8379&highlight=REFRESH+OR+RELOAD+OR+UPDATE">http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthre ... +OR+UPDATE</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
This thread tells you that by adding some extra things to the HTML coding that the page will basically expire as soon as it is loaded and force a refresh... or atleast that's what I gathered.<br />
<br />
My question is will this cause EVERYTHING to reload (the html page, the jpegs/gifs, flash animation) or will it simply reload the HTML page?<br />
<br />
This is somewhat of a concern for me because I do not want the user to have to reDownload <!--more--> every single image file or animation, nor do I want them eating up the bandwidth in doing so.<br />
<br />
Any input will be greatly appreciated. :)<!--content-->I believe it will only cause the page to reload. Images or other multimedia files will not be affected.<!--content-->Yes, I agree with IrDa...it should only reload your HTML content...<!--content-->Thanks a lot guys! :D <br />
<br />
Oh yeah... I just heard about this forum not too long ago... looks like I should frquent it. Lots of good information here. :cool:<!--content-->
