Hi
I have an application that has been working fine for a while now. However, today I have had a very strange bug occur.
I create a document. I then see this document in a view - it has all the correct information on it. I then re-edit this document and save. I look at the document in read mode and once again all the information is correct. However! When I go to edit this document a second time it reverts back to the original saved doc (as though the first edit didn’t take place).
I have tried several things such as changing my browser setting to check for a new version “on every visit to a page”. And adding META tags to this effect also. However, still the same problem.
I have tried creating a VERY simple form with one field on it. Still the same problem.
Any advice/suggestion would be very much appeciated.
Thanks in advance
Pete
After further investigation this is a browser cache problem. I am using IE5.5 and have tried using the META tags to prevent this. Although I am informed that these do not work properly with IE.
The solution then apparently is to add a random string to the urls when they are opened and forcing an upto date copy of the document to be loaded.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would “suddenly” occur and if there are any other alternative solutions?
