shubhishubhi Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I want to know if there is some functionlity available in HTML to clear the browser cache. I specifically need this functionality to clear the applet cache... because whenever we update our applet we have to ask the users to manually clear the cache to be able to use the new version of the applet. Any suggestions / inputs are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycharliente Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 HTML cannot DO anything (like perform actions an execute functions). It is simply a language that displays and formats text for rendering to the user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shubhishubhi Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 I am not sure on that ... but I read thru a link where it mentioned something about cache_version option .... It is here http://www.iiitmk.ac.in/~courses/itm203/resources/javadoc/guide/plugin/developer_guide/applet_caching.html#cache_version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Add a version number to the end of your applet. Then as you update the applet, you update the version number in the html. Since it's not the same version number as before, it will automatically download the new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
