Hello.

I'm having a reload problem with Opera (mine is v6.04, build 1135, if it's of any use) and was wondering if any of you guys & girls could give me a helping hand...

Scenario:

I have a frameset with two frames. Let's call the first of them main and the second navi . When the main frame updates, it reloads the navi frame with onLoad="window.parent.navi.location.reload()". (This is done because some data in the navi frame has changed.)

Actual Problem:

with Opera, the navi frame does not reload properly. On other browsers, the contents of navi frame change, but with Opera, they stay the same. Only when I do a RightClick-Frame-Reload, the page is finally reloaded OK in Opera.

The Question(s):

Does anybody have a solution for this? How can I reload my frame and really get it reloaded with Opera?

I've tried adding some expires/pragma/cache-control META tags to the page that needs to be reloaded, but it seems like Opera does not give a flying f*ck about them.

Please, help me! :(

You could use a SS language to generate file headers that prevent caching. But amazingly enough, even this is not guaranteed.


I'm afraid that Opera 6's caching mechanism is a real pig, and as far as I know there is nothing that can be done about it.
