Meta tags are OK if you want to disable all caching for GET request, but that is not necessarily desirable. Some things you definitely will want the browser to cache (static resources) - so I wouldn't dismiss the URL option entirely. It does provide some level of programmatic control.

Kelly,

You shouldn't need a unique URL to stop the caching. Just be sure to use
the meta tags or adjust the headers (if it's dynamic) to expire and browsers should grab a fresh page every time.

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the tip. I might try it at some point down the road.

The tip Brad gave me on using the meta tags is working well enough for
my needs at this point. The meta tags don't solve the problem of
letting users put a unique URL into their favorites, which is why I
may try your tip at some point. But the meta tags were too easy of a solution to pass up.

My site is so small that visitors will be able to see almost any
content they want to see with 1 click from the home page. It's also a
leisure site and not a work-related site or a commerce-related site.
This is why I'm willing to live with not being able to link to favorites...for now.

Thanks,

It is funny how people went silent.

To avoid caching you just have to include genURI() and pxTS() in your
javascript and modify your code to create a unique url - something
like inserting

sn = genUri(s);

and then using sn as the link.

To be able to bookmark a specific start page is rater simple.

index.html should have a possible parameter like
.../index.html?page=xxxx and a button that bookmarks the page
(.../index.html?page=xxxx)

One thing I have grown to dislike about having a single page app is
browser caching. I make changes to the files used for content within
the single page app, but I often have to clear my browser cache for
the changes to show up.

Add this to the fact that users cannot add particular "pages" to
their browser favorites. A favorites link always takes the user to
the home
page.

I'm guessing there are methods for getting around these issues. If
this were going to be a large website that a business had to spend
money to maintain, or a website used by tons of people where maximum
performance was a necessity, then I would probably do more research
to resolve the above issues. I definitely see the maintenance and
performance benefits of single page apps.

But this is just a hobby site and unlikely to be used by many people.
I don't mind spending time on it because, well, that's what hobbies
are for...spending time. So I'm going back to making it a
traditional web site with multiple HMTL files.

The link http://www.socialhope.info/code/SocialHope_REBOOT.zip will
continue to have the source code for the single page app version of
the website, for those who find this thread in a search or simply
want to download the code later.
