Updates

Here is my situation:

I have built a website for an upcoming event that contains several "coming soon" pages. It seems that, to see any updates I make to said pages, visitors who have already visited the site prior to the updates must refresh to see the new content. As this will be a public event and because I am expecting high site traffic, I cannot remind every returning visitor to refresh their browser, thus I fear that this could be a problem. Is there any way I can perhaps make each page refresh automatically?

Oh and, no, I am not looking to refresh the page every "x" seconds, I am looking to refresh each page once and instantly.

Check out the meta tag "expires" http://www.html-reference.com/META_name_expires.htm

This may be a non-issue because most browsers automatically refresh the page.

Put these into the <header> of the pages you want NOT to cache in teh users browser:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="pragma" content="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="cache-control" content="no-cache">
