Page lifespan?

I found some details on a musical festival, made my plans, and only found
out by chance that the site was two years out of date.

Is there some HTML way of setting a lifespan on a webpage on creation so
that, should the creator neglect to remove it, browsers will not render it?

If not should such a mechanism exist?
Perhaps with page expired message?

No.

Yes. The author should heep the web page up to date. Then again some web
pages last a very very long time. The HTML specs for instance.

Per RFC 2616, it is possible to set an expiration date for a page. This
can be done via
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 2008 08:21:57 GMT">

However, that has no real effect on the existence of the page. It only
affects caching.

I might have guessed that the situation would be worse than I had feared. We
have an "expires" provision, but the neither the page or some of its content
expires.

If I submit my for using a get action the resulting page loads . If I use a post action I get an error page saying "The page cannot be found". I am calling the originating page!!! This happens in IE as well as FireFox. This code has been tested on a Win2003 server, IIS6, PHP 5.0.3, mySQL 4.1.8 and it works fine. The problem server is a Win2k server, IIS5, PHP 5.0.4, mySQL 4.1.11.

Hi, I seem to having a peculiar problem with the display of odd and even pages in XSL-FO. Here is a small background of the problem.

Ok, before anyone freaks out, I have a solution I need to create that gathers content from maybe different places.

When I navigate to the next page using Response.Rediect("MyNextPage.aspx") current page Page_Load event is called.
