making websites AOL compatible

Does anyone happen to know what to place into my website code to make it view correctly in an AOL browser. (If there is any such thing!) My code is HTML based. When my clients pull up their sites (using AOL broswer) they do not see the updates. Something with cache.

HELP!

Jen

Jen,

Your problem with AOL not displaying updates is that the AOL user has AOL's version of a web accelerator installed on their computer.

My testing shows that the way these things work is to cache every page visited on the user hard drive then go exclusively to the hard drive when the page is requested again. Therefore, page updates are never available to the user.

I didn't leave my version installed long enough to determine if their cached pages expire after a certain number of days or if this is a permanent situation.

By the way - - Minaki - - Thanks for the code - - I've added it to my site....
