Q306 Is there anyway to force the browser to reload the html page from the server and not from the browsers cache?

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if (document.images)
location.reload(true); // forces a reload from the server
else
location.href = location.href; // just reloads the page
//--></script>Although this will continually reload the page if it is less as shown. What is needed, is a test to see if the page has already been reloaded (perhaps in the last second):
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function forceReload() {
if (document.images)
location.replace(location.href + '?' + (new Date()).getTime());
else
location.href = location.href + '?' + (new Date()).getTime();
}
var lastTime = location.search.substring(1) - 0;
if ((new Date()).getTime() - lastTime > 1000)
forceReload();
//--></script>
