to ensure that you are viewing the latest webpage

[Jason]

Hi,
I have just made my own company website www.intelligentfinance.com.au using publisher and I update (fiddle around) with the contect each night.

How do I ensure that the viewer is seeing the most recent page each time they view my website, as their computer remembers the page from the last time they visited, but it has since been updated?

When each page loads, the words seem to load in the top corner then shift to the correct position on the screen. How do I get the page to load then show the words when they are in the correct spot.

Also I would like to be able to have a picture or two move across the screen, is there HTML code that will allow me to do this with a picture that I have of my own?

Will the above additions make the pages load slower??? if so is there a way to speed up the download time??

Ps. David if you answer this, thank you in advance.

regards

Jason

Hi,

I have just made my own company website www.intelligentfinance.com.au

using publisher and I update (fiddle around) with the contect each night.

How do I ensure that the viewer is seeing the most recent page each time

they view my website, as their computer remembers the page from the last
time they visited, but it has since been updated?
I wouldn't worry about this. If the visitor re-visits a page in the same
session then the browser should load it from cache but if the session is a
new one the browser typically pulls a new one or at least checks it. I run
two sites myself and have designed several more and have yet to be concerned
about this. But if you want you can add the code to your web page to cancel
the cache. that code is-

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

NOTE- this is a head level meta tag, you cannot add this code into Publisher
itself you can only edit the html file manually and add the meta tag to the
head section. Therefore each time you modify the site n Publisher your
manual change will be lost.

When each page loads, the words seem to load in the top corner then shift

to the correct position on the screen. How do I get the page to load then
show the words when they are in the correct spot.
yes, I see that, and have seen it with version 2003 sites. it's my
understanding that is the complex VML and XML coding being rendered. as the
complex page code is being read you might see some of it before it's
finished rendering.

Also I would like to be able to have a picture or two move across the

screen, is there HTML code that will allow me to do this with a picture that
I have of my own?

movement is not an html feature, it is achieved thru javascripting. you can
browse javascript sites for this type of thing. when you have a script you
like then drop it in the page with an html code frag.

Will the above additions make the pages load slower??? if so is there a

way to speed up the download time??
any scripting adds to load time. but it will most likely be unnoticeable in
the already large time of a version 2003 page.
not with this version of Publisher.

FYI-
Your web site does not display in Netscape (7.02)...you see only the
opening page.
