How can I stop a browser from caching an asp generated HTML page? I have

used 'Response.Expires = -1000' to make sure it doesn't cache the page, but

it does not seem to work.



I am doing this:

1) open page login.asp

2) if login details are incorrect, refresh page and show JavaScript alert

message.

3) on details being correct, go to page referred to in querystring TARGET



when the user clicks on the back button to re-enter the login.asp page, the

user then see's the alert box. This seems very user un-friendly. Can I get

the browser to completely re-load the login.asp page? so the alert message

does not appear when the user clicks on the back button?



Many thanks in advance,

Quinton.

Hi,



Use 'Response.Expires = 0'. It will force the page to be reloaded every

time.



Best Regards,
