Yes, I guess that is what I am saying. Far as I know, adding

  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

between the <HEAD> & </HEAD> will prevent all content of your page
from being stored in the cache.

Secondly, I recently came upon an article which stated that if I
referred to my images in absolute terms, the browser will not cache
them... eg: SRC="http://domain.com/mysite/images/something.jpg"
Don't know how accurate the latter claim is.
