CONTENT="no-cache"

[Todd Anderson]

I'm ussing this <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"> to keep
me html page from caching. But it's not working. Is there a javascript
that will do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you running it on a webserver that parses HTML files for HTTP-EQUIV
<meta> tags? I don't know of any.
Is there a javascript that will do this?

No.

No, there's not really anything you can do client-side to guarantee the
item doesn't get cached.**

See <url: http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/ /> for information on
server-side cache directives.
** - note that there are techniques to ensure the browser loads a fresh
copy of your page under certain circumstances, for example:

document.write('<a href="somepage.html?t=' +
(new Date()).getTime() +
'">A Link</a>');

somepage.html should now never be retrieved from the local browser cache
since it's always a unique URL.
