    I found this particular tag on a site I'm working on and I've never seen it before. I have no idea of it's purpose (if any) and I'm tempted to go in and take it out.

    Can anyone inform on what this is before I do something....rather rash?

    Thanks.

    doh...I'm getting ahead of myself. Here is what Im talking about.

    <meta http-equiv='EXPIRES' content='-1'>


    hehe...thanks.

    okay...that helps a bit. I now know what it means by "expires", but why is it set to "-1"?

    I have only seen something like that in a link builder, through an affiliate program. Turns out that it was a code that only worked for a certain amount of time and then reverted back to the original page, not where you wanted it to go. If the site is one that you bought into and didn't design yourself that could be the case. I would go to SEOCHAT.COM for help in that area. The advice is very valuable on that site.

    That TAG is for telling
    Web Brwosers to keep the page in the cache, because the content is dynamic and is changing to every reload ...
    it also may applay for search engines, telling them to visit your website more offen :)
