As a rule, you can recommend, not force, a browser to cache, or not cache, a page. Most browsers will listen to the "Expires" Header:
Expires: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 14:19:41 GMT
And the more recent (HTTP 1.1) "Cache-Control" Header:
Cache-Control: max-age=3600, must-revalidate
To sort these things out. Check out How (and how not) to Control Caches
for more on this.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
