The only way I've found to fix it is to delete the actual cache file on the
hard drive - I only know of how to do it on Macs:
If you look in the folder for specialFolderPath("pref") there's a folder called
"Caches". Also in specialFolderPath("utmp") there may be a folder called
"-Caches-". In both places look for a folder that's like "com.runrev.livecode"
or "com.runrev.revolution", and if you delete *that* you get a refreshed page
the next time the revBrowser needs to display it.
I've also been told that if you make sure your URL is unique by passing a dummy
parameter to the page, you should get a clean refresh because the URL is not
cached.
Just my 2 cents,
