It is only defined when used in client requests, not server responses. The nearest equivalent from a server does not prevent the storing of the page, only its use without revalidation; however user agents can normally override such policies, e.g. offline mode. See the HTTP (*NOT* HTML) specification for more details. A large part of the HTTP 1.1 specification is about control of caches! [DJW:] Off topic because it is a help desk question and not about HTML. I replied to list to correct misleading information. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS. >
