AOL 9 caches the webpages on their servers. They check back for update
periodically, but there's no way that I know of to force it. You might try
putting an animated GIF somewhere on the page. Since AOL's image smasher
cannot handle these, they always return to the originating server to get it.
Possibly this will cause them to reload the entire page (don't really know
for sure).

I have a client who has recently upgraded to the new 9.0 aol browser. Now,
everytime I make updates to her site, she has to manually clear her history
in order to see the updates. I tried putting a meta tag that the page had
expired - didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
