The only thing I can think of is using headers in your page which force the browser to reload everything. This will work almost everytime...
But the downside is that your page will load a lot slower the next times, while this shouldn't.

If you have created a new website, and some visitors keep seeing the old site, try to rename some important files (e.g. index.htm for the old site: use index.html for the new one, and rename/delete folders). The browser will than detect the changes better...

There is no solution in detecting the browser cache, just for the fact that JavaScript does not have the rights to detect this.

thanks

Thanks for helping me. I've tried with header, but it is not allowing me to use header and also taking much time with error.

but the thing that you told, JS doesn't have rights to detect cache of browser is useful for me. I was thinking about using JS but I think there should be any other solution for my case.

actually the cache problem is occuring in only one page that I am including in index.php and all other pages that are also including in index.php doesn't have any cache problem.

try to find solution if you can.

thanks

no-cache

If you are having trouble with / unable to use, http headers, try using meta tags in the page's head.

I blame code optimization.

If your page is only HTML, I see no reason why a browser wouldn't have enough space to store the relatively small page in its cache. Which version of Netscape are you testing this against?

I got the solution

thanks for the suggestions. I got the solution for my problem.
actually, I was using big images in my index.php page which were taking much space first time when loading and after refreshing the same page at the same time, it was giving me the correct page.
I think the problem was not of the space. I putted the images in saperate div tags making same class for each and it working.

thanks once again.
