I don't yet have a suggestion, but I have the same problem with IE. I'm
building a web-based admin section, and IE keeps caching everything. One
more reason to hate IE - on IE 5 Mac they changed the default resolution
to 96 dpi (up from the std 72 dpi). So now all our style sheets for the
mac side have to be tweaked, and I have a lot of code to rework to send
the proper stylesheet! Microsoft seems to be very partial to standards -
CSS1 is completely implemented in IE5 mac, but it still caches dynamic
content!
Anyway, sorry for the OT post. I just had to vent... :-)
