I am certain that some of you may have pulled their hair off when starting with AJAX trying to understand why a setInterval call to an AJAX function would work perfectly on most browsers but not on Internet Explorer 6 or 7. As simple research on the web will demonstrate, page caching mechanism on IE is quite different than on other browsers. To prevent IE from caching the page(s) called by your AJAX function(s) make sure to add a no-cache headers such as:

header(”Expires: Thursday, 26 Jul 1970 08:45:00 GMT”);
header(”Last-Modified: ” . gmdate(”D, d M Y H:i:s”) . ” GMT”);
header(”Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate”);
header(”Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0″, false);
header(”Pragma: no-cache”);

As time passed, it appeared to me that it was time for us to give back to the community, whether on a local level or on a global level. In today’s world, one cannot, in good conscience, hope for a free ride. Getting involved does not necessarily mean participating exclusively in charities and environmental movements (although I believe both are essential), but also sharing any knowledge that we may have acquired over time. This is why Flipshare, our blog, will try to not only cover opinions and ideas but also provide our visitors with tips, short tutorials and multimedia development references.
