Hi
Even I faced similar problems............what i am doing is something which
is not really acceptable method but still it works .........its actually
browser specific since it fetches the previous versions of the page if they
are stored in "Temporary internet files" folder so browser settings need to
be configured.( Thats my understanding.........experts please correct me if
I am wrong.)
i use IE 4.0. on the menu bar go to tools...........Internet options.....and
on the advanced tab go to security..........and check the box corresponding
to "Empty temporary internet files when browser is closed"
also on the general tab for internet options go to temporary
files........settings and where you find"Check for newer version of page"
select "Every visit to page".
If you use a different browser then may be you could search for equivalent
options.
I know this is not a good way...... Even I am eager to know if this can be
achieved through code.
Regards,
Vijayanand
