caching problem

Hi,
I am using geeklog 1.3. I am facing a caching problem with Ie, that IE is always caching the files and i cant see the latest updated files without refreshing the page. I used the followin tags in the template header.thtml and footer.thtml
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="5">
<TITLE> Pragma No-cache </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Body Content
</BODY>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
</HEAD>
</HTML>
To prevent from caching but the file is still cached. But only Ie caches the files not FireFox. I also changed the COM_refresh function to the following
function COM_refresh( $url )
{
//return "<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0; URL=$url\"/></head></html>\n";
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE"
)
{
header('Expires: -1';
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0';
header('Pragma: public';
}
else
{
header('Expires: -1';
header('Pragma: no-cache';
}
header('Location:' . $url);
exit;
} but still having the caching problem with IE. :banghead:
Can any one please help me on this. I need an urgent solution.

Assuming it's not literally "1.3" but the latest 1.3.11, then upgrading won't really make a difference.
The above examples don't make a lot of sense, though. There should be exactly one <head> and one <body> area on your site. And the no-cache meta tag belongs into the <head>.
Caching is a tricky topic. Proxies may play into it and some browsers (e.g. Opera) default to an aggressive caching that sometimes causes problems.
A URL to the site would help ...
bye, Dirk

Hi,
The version i am using is 1.3 . and the reason for using two head tag is i found for IE to prevent from caching sometimes it works if i add another no-cache just befor ending of the html file. I found it on net while searching for how to prevent IE from caching. maybe i;ll try for version conversion if that helps

Both of this sounds so wrong ...
Geeklog 1.3 came out in December 2001. Please don't tell me you're using a version that's almost 7 years old.
And using invalid HTML will usually cause more problems than it "solves".

In IE 7 do you have "Check for newer versions of web pages" set to always? This setting can be found under Browser History in internet options. For older IE browsers check under the advance tab.
