Question

I have a statistics page which has a meta refresh tag on it.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10" />

How do I stop it forcing a refresh of the images in the page too? I’ve tried setting Cache control but the browser (IE7) still refreshes the 50+ images in the page.

Response.Cache.AppendCacheExtension("post-check=900,pre-check=3600");

Answer 1

I solved this issue by using javascript to manually refresh the page rather than the meta tag. This stopped the browser refreshing all the images on every reload, but still forced the browser to refresh the ASPX page itself.

<script>
setTimeout('document.location=document.location',10000)
</script>
