Is there a way in HTML, Javascript or something like that to make sure that every time a web page is visited, it checks for a newer version? I know this can be set in the Browser's properties, but not everybody knows to do that. I have a site that has info that changes often, but if I were to go to it and load the page again it just grabs it from cache and doesn't update...if I refresh the page, it does get a new version. Is there a way to do this automatically?

YES...
Click on TOOLS then INTERNET OPTIONS then TEMPORARY INTERNET FILE SETTINGS then tick which option you want, either automatic or every time a page is visited...
Hope this helps,

funny you should ask! I just wrote such a page,,, it does all the checking inside the page without ever hitting refresh!
the method is AJAX, and the code less than 5 lines for the hard stuff!
I use http://jquery.com and async access to other pages is quite easy!
