Thread: Menu Hyperlinks to an (old) cached page?

I've created a drop down menu with a mnu item that hyperlinks to an asp page (for example <a href="nxLocks.asp" target="_self" title="">Locks</a>).

The menu is part of an include file that is placed on many different pages.

Selecting the "Locks" menu item from one of those pages invokes the nxLocks.asp page, but it appears to be a cached page (because it contains "old" session variables).

Here's what's interesting; in the IE address bar, if I enter nxlocks.asp (instead of nxLocks.asp) the correct (non-cached?) page is displayed.

I hope this makes some sense. Please let me know if you need additional information.

Hello Don,

This is very strange indeed. The menu uses a simple hyperlink to send you to other pages. By clicking on it, it just tells the menu to browse there. Are you sure you don't alter the session in the page that holds the menu and maybe that's why you see different variables?

Or maybe you have the menu linked to a different page. Same name but elsewhere on your server.

Try to do a complete cache clearance in the browser and see if you get rid of the problem.

Thanks Andrei. Clearing the cache (in IE8) did not fix the problem. I should note that the problem does not appear to exist in Firefox 3.015.

To demonstrate the problem further, my home page clears a session variable, which I display. If I vist a previous page through the creative menu and display the same session variable, it still contains the old value.

Would it matter that I'm using an include file to display the same menu on each page?

I'm going to add simple hyperlinks on each page that should mimic the menu functions, and see what happens.

The problem also does not occur when adding and using hyperlinks that are identical to the Creative Menu!

Also replaced include file with actual menu, but it did not resolve the problem. It appears to have issues with dynamic data on a web page.

Hello,

Don, could you please give us a link to your website? A copy of one of the menu pages would also help. You can send it at support at extendstudio.com. Thanks!

San, the link to extendstudio.com appears when you are using the demo version. It is not present in the menu structure as it replaces one of the buttons you defined.

Regards,
Andrei

Hello,

It's been over a month since I've sent links and code. I've received no response.
