There's no way to guarantee that they won't, even if you put expired MIME header tags into the file, because some browsers ignore them and reload these files from cache anyways.Alain Russell's method of renaming the .js file every time it changes is okay, but it is probably faster and more efficient (not only for the server but also for the browser) to put your javascript code into an include file. Then webdna can include it in the .tpl page before it leaves the server. By using raw=T the code on the .js page will not be interpreted:[include file=ScriptName.js&raw=T]And of course, whenever the .js file is changed webdna will include the changes automatically. -- Sincerely, Kenneth Grome ------------------------------------------------------------- My programmers write WebDNA code at $18 an hour or less! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
