I designed a Web site with tables. I have placed the navigation bar, header and footer in separate cells on every page.

I have constantly changing content so I named my five featured html pages "feature1.html, feature2.html, feature3.html." I did this so that whenever I change features I can simply rewrite "feature1.html" with the new feature and not have to change the links on dozens of separate web pages.

I used this same naming convention for my graphics, "feature1a.gif, feature1b.gif, etc." The graphics change each time and they have rollovers.

To see what I mean please take a look at my site "
My problem is that every time I do an update, many client's browsers don't recognize the change beacuse the old versions of each page is cached in their temp internet files. Is there any way to remedy this?

If the only way to correct this is to give te files a unique name each time, is there any way that Dreamweaver can update the links quickly?

I just can't imagine having to go through each html page on our site and having to change the links of five feature and 10 graphic file links. This will take forever. Am I looking at a total redesign here? Any advice would be very, very appreciated.

Thanks,

D.P.
 
Put this at the top of each page

<% Language=VBScript %>
<% Response.Expires = -1500 %>

This should set the cache to expire -1500 minutes ago. Which is about 25 hrs should just about cover any access no matter the time zone. Live long and make your kids suffer..
