Auto expiry of web pages

Hi

I hope I'm not out of place asking this question here. I
have a news page that regularly gets updated. We use the
include functions to display this in an area each page of
our website. Problem is that when ftp'ing the news page
up, a lot of the pages that are already in the site
continue to display the old news item. Is there a way
that I can get the page to auto expire so that it goes
and updates from the server?

thanks
peter

Peter,
Unfortunately, what you have to do when you update a news item is to
use the tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks after you update the page. That will
find all the other web pages that are referencing the news page as an
include and update it. Just updating the news page itself isn't enough as
the include is one of those controls that works at design-time and not
run-time. Then you'll have to upload all the newly updated pages as well.

Hope this helps,

An easier way would be to use SSI to include the content.
