Published work does not appear immediately

[Ray]

I'm publishing ASP code, using FP2003. Please can
somebody tell me why, if I publish a changed page, that
the change isn't visible immediately. The old page keeps
on displaying, even if I do a refresh. But, if I go and
watch TV for half an hour and retry it displays the new
page. I don't mind watching TV, but it's not a very
productive way to work!

Instead of clicking the refresh button in your browser, try using Ctrl + F5.
That forces a refresh from the server and overrides anything that may be
cached, either by your browser or a proxy server that you may be behind.

Alternatively, you can add superfluous parameters to your URL to trick the
browser/proxy into thinking you're requesting something new. For example:
http:///www.example.com/yourpage.asp?blah

or

http:///www.example.com/yourpage.asp?blah=1

Check with your host, as they may have ASP pages set to be cache on the server. I think this is the
default under Windows 2003 Server.
