Let's get things clear simples on Caching
------------------------------------------

It's not possible to be 100% sure a browser does not cache pages. This
is left to the software developper to do the right thing with cache
control information. You can however do the following to ensure that
most of the browser do not cache your pages:

1) In the html page place an META HTTP-EQUIV tag that will set the
experiation to 0 (do not cache). like so:

<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0">

2) If you can send header (in an CGI) you can also place the folowing
header and try to force the data not to be cached.

I recommand you read on cache control in http/1.1 (read the RFC). this
simple tricks I gave you came in part from their.
