Unwanted Cashing

[Billy Jacobs]

I have a web page which uses a datagrid to display some
data. The first column contains checkboxes. Here the user
can check or uncheck the items and then click a save
submit button. If they do this the page reloads and the
data is stored in the database and the checkboxes show
appropriately.

My problem. If I leave the page and then go back to it
using a link, it shows me the old values. If I hold down
the shift key and hit refresh, it updates and shows me the
correct values.

I am assuming it is showing me a previously cached version
of the page. How do I stop this behavior?

Thanks

Since no one else will respond to my simple question I
will answer it myself.
In order to prohibit a page from caching just place
following Meta tag in the head of the html.

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