Example: Baseball Schedule for Team A [page is written in query] {Note, this file lives in the app. The "dates.html" link is permanent, but I want to be able to update "dates.htm"} Code that grabs the 2013 schedule. <div id="contact_buttons"> <a href="http://www.baseball.com/dates.html" data-role="button" data-icon="star"> My Baseball schedule</a> </div> What if.... 2014 rolls around, and the page that links to"dates.html" has cached that page. It's going to show old baseball game dates, even though "dates.html" has been updated. Is there any snippet to get the code to Never cache?
