It's better to put these things in the ASP, as headers from the server take precendence over META tags in the HTML. I use these commands at the top of every page:
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache"
Response.Expires = -1

If you're stuck with putting it in html, use this:
<meta http-equiv="Expires" CONTENT="0">
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I dont have any restrictions such as java scriot or ASP.
i used your code.
If I use javascript i am not getting any result.This Code i have kept in <head> tags.Even then I am not getting any result.
If I use Vbscript at the top of the page and if i click "back" button first time i am getting the expiry mesage. But the problem is Even if i click forword button i am getting the same message. And If i go on click the back button for 4 times i am getting the old page.
I want this message whenever i click back button and it has allow forword navigation. and no more backword navigation is allowed.
I want immediate solution..
Please help me in this..
Thansk inadvance.
Suresh
