Included html not showing latest version. How can I get the including page to show the updated include.?
I can get the code to work initially however if I change the text in alert.htm the changes are not reflected in a refreshed version of the outer page.
Sample Code:
Included File (alert.htm):
<body>
<div id="alert">
<p id="text">
<!-- Start message here -->
test #3
<!-- End message here -->
</p>
</div>
</body>
Including outer html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitiona...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml%22%3E
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<meta http-equiv="CACHE-CONTROL" content="NO-CACHE"/>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"/>
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1"/>
<title>Untitled 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test Alert</h1>
<!--webbot bot="Include" TAG="BODY" U-Include="alert.htm" startspan -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var tag = document.getElementById("text");
var length = tag.innerText.length;
if(length==0) {
var text = document.getElementById("alert").style.display = "none";
alert('hidden');
}
else {
alert(length);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
This code works fine when I test locally but does not work when uploaded to the server.

Try uploading to the server with a different filename. See if it works. If it does, the server (or proxy) may be using a very persistent cache system. Don't worry. The old file should work in the morning when cache contents are flushed.
