Web Page refresh rates

[Doug Cox]

Where do you change the "REFRESH RATE" (if that is what
it is called!) for the content on a web server?

I changed this one time on a server, so I know it was
there previously.
We are using Win 2000 Advanced Server as a Web Server.
When I make changes to my webpages, it takes a few
moments before the changes are reflected on the website.
If the refresh setting is set lower, then the changes
will take effect immediately.

Please help!

This is a browser setting not a server setting. Its a matter of the client
haveing a copy of the page in their local cache.

When I make changes to the web page on the server, it does not reflect the changes imediately, it can take a few minutes to update the pages that have been edited. If I understand you correctly, your saying that I need to change the cache setting or cache rate in my local brouser for this to happen faster? If this is what I need to do could you give me suggestion on where and how to make this change?

If you hold down the ctrl key and hit F5 that does a refresh on the browser
that causes it to gather a new page and not read the page from cache. The
other option is to change IE (Tools -> Internet Options -> Settings; "Check
for newer versions of stored pages" to "Every visit to the page" from the
default "Automatically") behavior, the defualt has a checking algorithm but
you can change it to every visit.
