The meta tags for no caching( supposedly ) in html are
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 07:32:02 GMT">
But be aware in Netscape though...you can't see the source of the html if you
use those tags. And also, you can't print the page. As soon as I removed them, I
was able to print the pages from Netscape. So I just rely in
response.setHeader(blah blah blah ) methods.
