How to turn off caching on internal browser (Vantage 8.03.407a)

Thanks for the idea but I am using the xajax framework for php so that I don't actually refresh the whole page, just the parts I want to update.

We have created a couple dashboards that basically redirect to a URL that is on our Intranet server. From there the server uses an ODBC connection and PHP to run a labels job. Problem I am having is that the internal browser is caching up stuff. Is there any way to turn caching completely off? I would also like to know where on the server this data is getting cached, maybe an alternative is to just script something to delete the cache files automatically.

TIA

Marc

Try this first, if you're using Internet Explorer.
open browser on the client.
click Tools, Internet Options.
In center section "Temporary Internet Files" click Settings button.
Make sure it has "Every visit to the page" checked.

There are probably better ways to do it from a server side, but I don't know how your hosting it and so on.

Since you're using PHP, you should be able to use a technique from this
article:

The "quick and dirty" solution has been to change the URL every time so that
it looks different and always refreshes.
