Hi,
This is a little bit off topic of TWG but maybe very interesting for people who have iframes on their sites and they don’t get refreshed properly.
I had the problem that after a page refresh of a site with 2 iframes only one of them got updated in IE. The other one was still displaying the old content. After checking the server log files I found out that the 2nd iframe was not called at all. Therefore it was cached in the browser.
I checked my code and was already using the following meta tags in my header section:
<meta http-equiv=”Expires” content=”-1″>
<meta http-equiv=”cache-control” content=”no-cache”>
<meta http-equiv=”Pragma” content=”no-cache”>
I already used Expires = 0 but there was no change either.
Only the combination together with a random number at the request of an iframe where doing the trick.
Below you find my solution how to do this with jsp’s and struts:
<% java.util.HashMap newValues = new java.util.HashMap(); newValues.put(“ts”, System.currentTimeMillis()); pageContext.setAttribute(“timestamp”, newValues); %>
This creates a map ‘timestamp’ with a timestamp in the page context.
And the iframes where then looking like this:
<frameset rows=”60,100″ border=”10″>
<html:frame action=”/action1″ name=”timestamp” frameName=”frame1″ />
<html:frame action=”/action2″ name=”timestamp” frameName=”frame2″ />
</frameset>
Hope this will help someone 😉
