I've always used <cfheader name="expires" value="#now()#">
But that's that I've always done, and it's always worked fairly well... One thing I've never been able to accomplish is make a page, like some pages on banking sites will do, that will put up a "This page has expired, please click here to start over." message. I've always wondered how they accomplish that. I know IE has some trouble with caching in that it ignores some of the meta tags that control local page caching... ahh, here's the link. Old new, dunno if it still applies: http://www.netobjects.com/workbench/metaexpires.html Laterz!
