Does including the no cache meta tag in an html file also prevent the js and css files linked in that html file from being cached?

Question

I have written the no-cache meta tags in html files. Does this only prevent the html file from being cached, or also the js and css files linked in that html file?

Answer 1

There are bugs in both Netscape Navigator (NN) and Internet Explorer (IE).If you only use:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

You should also add:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
