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.
I searched for forums on here and came up with this thread:
http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8379&highlight=REFRESH+OR+RELOAD+OR+UPDATE
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.
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?
This is somewhat of a concern for me because I do not want the user to have to redownload every single image file or animation, nor do I want them eating up the bandwidth in doing so.
Any input will be greatly appreciated. :)
