What is the best method for preventing caching of HTML pages?
I've heard that Internet Explorer and Netscape each require different meta tags to stop chaching.

Check this out:

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

Apparently it's best to cover oneself three ways!

Can anyone comment on the above code I found from a Google search? Is there anything else I should include?

I know that you can put random data behind a questionmark on a url that changes each time it is requested. cache-busting. it is used for making sure that a banner is not cached, accurately reporting views and the such.

I think it is implemented through a java routine. don't know much past that.
