im looking for a simple web code that can make a page reload as it opens so people dont see the cached page. the best i have manged to find is one that refreshes the page after however log u set it, this is usless for me,

can anyone help, im sure it will be pretty simple but i cant find it

if it is a PHP page, you can set the header() so that pages arent cached in the first place, cant remember the exact values, if you need them ill look into it.

its not its just html i dont know php

related html meta tags (<- what you should've googled ):

<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="Mon, 22 Jul 2002 11:12:01 GMT">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="15;URL=http://www.blah.com/">

for detailed info see http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/metatags.html for example

Some Hosting providers dont like auto refreshing pages...so be aware
