RE: [ajug-members]: Page Expiration

["Allan Marks" <allanmarks@msn.com>]

I think that's a browser thing, rather than a Java thing.

When you hit the Back button on the browser, the browser reads that page out
of cache rather than making a round-trip to the server.  I believe you can
set a META tag to set the expiration time for a given page; something along
the lines of:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT">

Try Googliong it for more info.

Subject: [ajug-members]: Page Expiration


If a user clicks the back button in a browser I need for
the previous page to come up expired. I have noticed that
some financial institutions do this, such as Wachovia or
BOA.

I have done some research on how to do this but maybe I'm
just looking for the wrong thing. I haven't found what I
think I'm looking for.

Thanks for the help.
