Does Netscape 7 ignore meta tags?

Hi,

I am using meta tags on a page, which shows the present time and date.

I have all the meta tags needed expires, content, cache-control etc. It works in all browsers except Netscape 7.

For Netscape 7, until I hit reload on the tool bar, the page does not reload.

Can anyone help me out with this.

Thanks in advance,

Welcome to Webmaster World!

I don't know of any such problem in Netscape 6.

To help answering your question better, can you cut-n-paste a short example that shows the problematic part of the code?

Thanks,

I have a page which retrieves data from the database, that is why am unable to give you a snippet of that code.

But basically, what I am trying to is retrieve some data from the database, including timestamp. I have the meta tags set to no-cache and expires=-1 on this page. The timestamp does change for every click on every browser except for Netscape 7.

If I click the link to bring up the above page, it brings up the page from cache. I can tell this based upon the timestamp. If I hit reload from the tool bar, the page gets refreshed. I am guessing there must be some meta tag issue which does this.

The Cache-Control directive is also set in the server-side response header.

Please let me know if this is not clear or need further clarification.
