In order to be sure visitors see the most updated content on my site, I am currently using the lines (on all my pages):

<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="0">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

Unfortunately, neither seems to work very well in the AOL browser, which most people that visit the site are using...

eventually the content expires and the browser will re-load off the server, but if I change the content then check right away, a hard reload is necessary to view the updated content.

is there another tag that will force the AOL browser to reload content each visit?

Thanx
Dave

AOL uses proxy caching. There are a few solutions here (http://webmaster.info.aol.com/caching.html) that might help you out. Even more info. on the issue can be found here (http://wdvl.internet.com/Internet/Cache/) ;).

Look into:

Cache-Control: No-Cache
Cache-Control: No-Store
Cache-Control: Private

Good luck ;).
