I'm in the process of re-building my site, so there are changes every day or so. How can I make it so that when ppl view a page on the site, they are always seeing the most updated version?

If you save your updates, your visitors will always see them.

Really? I know sometimes when I update a page, then go to that page, I see it as it was before the update. To see the changes I need to click 'refresh'.

This is because of cache. There is a meta tag that keeps it from happening, but it might also slow loading time. Cache is what saves a webpage into a person's temporary internet files in order to reduce loading time in the future. Sometimes, when you view a site that is in your cache, you see the old version.

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">

You can also use PHP:


<?php header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); ?>


Place at top of your files, making sure the extension is .php.

<HEAD>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
/* This script and many more are available free online at

Created by: Lee Underwood

Because this is a true refresh, you might want to put a
notice on the page that it refreshes every "X" minutes */

function reFresh() {
location.reload(true)
}
/* Set the number below to the amount of delay, in milliseconds,
you want between page reloads: 1 minute = 60000 milliseconds. */
window.setInterval("reFresh()",86400000);
// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>
