Title: Circumvent Navigation with a Query String?
Post by: The Peepmaster on April 19, 2010, 12:54:10 PM: I have a site where I want to circumvent navigation with a query string so that results can appear automatically by the placement of additional instructions in the uniform resource locator.

Does anyone know if there's a straightforward line of text that I can add?

I seem to recall that the exact question was answered in post 45 of topiccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc.

Damn cat on the keyboard. Now where was I?

I don't have the foggiest idea, Peeps.

Thanks, Diane. That's great.

I thought this part was most apt:

"This tricks the browser to go in the source and to fetch the page, instead of using a local copy. It would only use a local copy if you have no query string or if you have already cached that url with that query string (say, in a second time you visit the same query string).

Just because the browser would cache the same query string in a second access, I made the script to vary it on each access, and also it forces a refresh when accessing a querystring that is TTL seconds older than the current time, even if it is already cached from a previous access, say, when clicking a bookmark."

It isn't of direct help in my particular query, unfortunately, but it's interesting nonetheless!
