Good afternoon!
I have ser up a website for a local school which has news and photos about the students for the parents to see.
Every month, the teachers update the site with new photos and info, then send a newsletter home with the kids saying "check out the new stuff online". What is happening though, is the parents are going to the website and - because of browser caching - are still seeing the old photos.
Usually a quick press of the Refresh button will fix this, but many, many parents are not computer-savvy at all, and wouldn't even know what a refresh button was even if they were told about it.
I was testing things out with Safari today after the most recent update, and even the Refresh button didn't work. Only after I empties the cache did the new photos show up. what is up with that?!
So my question is, is there a way to make sure updated content will appear on a user's computer without them needing to refresh or empty the cache? Originally I did a search and found a Javascript which refreshes the page automatically, but after my experience with Sarafi not updating even with refresh, I'm wondering if there is a more failsafe solution?
cheers!
