Is there any code I can put in to clear caches?

I am a bit concerned that mobile browsers (specifically chrome on android) is picking up old versions of some of my pages. When I specifically clear the cache (which ony seems to work for the page I am browsing) and then do a refresh, the correct layout is seen.
So, does anyone know of any code (html, I assume) that will force the browser to load the page from the net and not from internal cache? I'm not saying this will be a permanent solution, but while I am testing, it's what I need.
thanks
Alan

This has worked for some other users:
Code: Select all
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />

If I put that in the header of my master page, would that suffice?
Cheers

All pages that you do not want to be cached by the browser.

I have html pages which I use for my help files. On my website I provide an external link through a menu button. Is there a way to embed the suggested code you gave for clearing a cache into that button so I know my users are getting the current html help and not the help stored in the cache?
Thanks,
Ed

The code must be placed inside the HTML page. It cannot be added to a button.
