Re: [PHP] Internet Explorer Caching

Unfortunately I don't have a choice. I have to be able to handle IE.

And IE is caching the page. I can see it in my Temporary Internet Files folder. And the Expiration Date is 3 hours after the file is created. If I delete the file, a new one is created and the Expiration Date is 3 hours after the new file is created.

Ah!

"old data" as in "This is what you typed into the form last time you
were here, so this is what you must want in the form this time, no
matter what is in the HTML for the default value, because we are
Microsoft, and our users are stupid and this is what they want"?

You're pretty much dealing with a browser behaviour, I think, and
people dumb enough to use IE actually expect it to work that way, and
trying to fix it is probably a mistake.
