Anyone else having trouble with HTML caching between servers?

Ex. When you run an application on test and then run it in production you see the test data. If you run production and then go to the same application in test you see production data. We have to have the customers click Ctrl + F5 to clear out of either test or production depending on where they were first.

I have tried putting this code in my HTML but it does not help or maybe I have it in the wrong place. I have it below But I have tried it before

  <HEAD>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
JV

Include your code between [ code ] and [ /code ] tags.
No space before ']' and after '['.

Jveselka,

The browser will cache if the URL is the same.

( it thinks it's the same page obviously ).

your code is correct.
<HEAD>
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
</HEAD>


And you do not need the
<br>
.



My experience is, however, that this doesn't always work. ( stupid browsers still cache ).

Best solution is not to use the same URL.

I don't know how the customer get the URL?
Is it a favorite or a link on a page? Or a drill?

In all cases it might be a good solution to add a unused parameter with with the value 'TEST' or 'PROD' or something.

By the way. Caching between TEST en PROD would be the least of my problems. I'd be more concerned about caching between now and yesterday... ...or last week. ?

Hi...

<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache'>
<meta http-equiv='expires' content='0'>
<meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'>
</HEAD>
 

Use Math.random() function in your url... May be this will help with the above Code....
