CF question 3 (about refresh)

[volcano]

Hello again, this question may not be fully related to Coldfusion.

The problem is how can i refresh a page ONCE
automatically when the page is loaded. It's because the META
tag with "expires" or "Pragma" attributes, or CFHEADER still can't ensure the page is not cached.

Thank you very much!

<meta http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;0&quot;>

This will refresh the page right away.

Thanks InternetOverlord for your reply. I once tried this method, but it seems it will refresh forever.. how can I refresh only once?

Thanks a lot!

I usually just pass in a unique value for each page that I submit to in order to avoid the caching issue. But I do know that there's another tag to use that's both IE and Netscape compatible:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;REFRESH&quot; CONTENT=&quot;0; URL=page_name.cfm&quot;>

This will refresh once and only once and it should not do otherwise. Unless your page is hanging for whatever reason, this will do the trick.
