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.

I forgot to mention in my question that only IE appears to cache. And

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 behavior, 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.



It could be that your browser is overriding the cache settings.

In IE go to
Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> (history)Settings

make sure it is set to either Automatically or "Every visit to the page"

if it is form data that keeps returning, go to

Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> AutoComplete

And make sure that Forms is not checked in the list of items

Hope this helps
