Refresh Page After Back Button Hit

kvarnerexpress
Hi. I have a page that is dynamically build through DOM manipulation. So, when I browse outside the page, and then click back, those dynamically created DOM objects are gone. Since I am also using JSP / Servlet technology, I can rebuild this page easily, which I have done.

Here is my dilemma. If the user leaves the dynamic page, then clicks back on their browser, I need the page they are going back to to refresh. I can't figure out how to do this. I've tried using the META tag, but it won't do it. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

uhm.. you cant do that, i think.
Becouse it wont be the same on every web browser. Try to view that page in IE then try in Opera... then try all of browsers smile.gif
Do you see that Opera uses page from cashe memory...

You can do this with meta tags. It won't actually refresh on every visit, but it will tell the clients computer not to store information about the page and instead completely re-download it on each view. You can use the following meta tags (don't know how many are necessary, but it wouldn't hurt to use all of them):
CODE
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"> <!-- tells browser not to cache -->
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0"> <!-- says that the cache expires 'now' -->
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"> <!-- says not to use cached stuff, if there is any -->

Oops, I appear to have missed part of your post. Did you use any or all of those?

Someone new, responding with same problem as SqlByte.

I tried this solution and it didn't work. Just letting you know. Using Mozilla Firefox. I used all 3 lines. I tried another meta tag, with <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2"> which does work, but after the initial refresh, I don't want the page to reload each and every time thereafter (always shows it's loading, something people round here would get real antsy about).

  3. Multiple Drop Down Menus W/ Submit Button

    I am building a page that will have 2 drop down menus and a submit button. The first menu will have

  4. Dynamic Button Size
    (1)
    In my application I have a custom tag that generates all the action buttons that the page needs. My
    problem is that in IE the space between the left side of the button and the image inside the button
    are not consistant. Some buttons have 3 or 4 more pixels of padding on the left side then others.
    This causes my buttons to be too large and hence the area the buttons are generated in stretches too
    far. I could wrap the buttons around to another line or add scroll bars.. but if it will fit in FF I
    think it should fit in IE as well. So my question is can I set the padding....
