Is it possible to add a section to a link so that when the link is clicked the page that is opened will be a refreshed page???

eg. if there was a website www.abc.com/index.html
could something be added like:
www.abc.com/index.html?=refresh

Somthing in the same line as this??

Thanks
Anayet

I might be missing something here, but just linking to the page itself, ie www.abc.com/index.html would refresh.

Do you mean like force a refresh of the content -- like a shift reload type of thing?

I think that would bring the same page from the cache. So that wouldn't be useful

you are better off making it so that the browser/proxy doesn't cache the page then it will always be refreshed when opened.


Trying to do it the other way you need to do stuff with HTTP which I don't think any browsers let you do ie. if modified headers
