Pages don't refresh and cookies don't reset

johnie

Hi. My problem is the following.
When i see my site at home with win2k+IE5.5 or win98+IE6 everything works fine.
When i see it at work with win2k+IE6 (my client uses win98+IE5) it doesn't work like it is supposed to.
I get the pages from history and not the current versions and i have to refresh to get them. The most important is that the cookies don't reset. I can set a cookie when i login but i can't reset it when i log out.

The problem about old pages, i also have it with other sites that i browse (builder.com). So it's probably a IE6 problem.

My guess is that it might be a proxy problem with ISP.
Has anyone noticed such a behaviour?
What can i do about it?

Thanks

John

One solution could be to put nocache in the meta tag.

Something like this(ripped from somewhere):

Text in the Browser Window

</BODY>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
</HEAD>
</HTML>

I found this on some site that said IE5 has some problems when using only <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">. The fix for it is to put META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1"> after the first meta.

The same page also says to put metas in the beginning and the end, allthought I have allways put it only to the beginning...

And yes, It could be a proxy problem. Have you tried taking the proxy off?
