Re: hwg-techniques-digest V1 #1112

Hi,

I had a problem with changes not appearing too.  This was mostly on my asp
pages that used SSI.  It seems (according to our in-house sysop) that it was
the server's cache that wasn't allowing the refresh, & that the metatag's
refresh only caused the client-side browser's cache to refresh, not the
server's.  Every time I made a change to the include, we had to call & ask
them to dump the cache.  I don't know what they have done recently, but that
'unrefreshing' behavior has stopped.  On our network servers (we use outside
hosting for the previously mentioned site) I sometimes have to wait a minute
or two & hit refresh a few times for changes to appear.  The 'coding of
choice' where I work is asp (it is do that or lose job), so I have to rely
on the server to do its thing before I can do mine.

my 2 �,
Lady Wist

| Rob,
|
| Thank you for that...and yes, I have refreshed...it made no difference.
|
| I didn't know about the meta tag deal tho...thank you...I'll add it.
| Actually, it hasn't been a bad lesson in that I now have what is pretty
| much a mirror image of my onsite directory on my hd so that everything
that
| is uploaded is in the right place to begin with. I've really only been
| changing the img tag to reflect the correct directory but the less
fiddling
| I have to do, obviously, the better.
|
| Thanks again for the tip.
