Perfect, you're brilliant

Do you know anything about the other two? I found some code for #3 but I don't know if it would work in CSS.

#1 is taken care of in the p style with the margin- attributes. There are other ways, but they are better suited to more complex work.

I don't understand what you're wanting to accomplish with #3. Explicitly clearing the cache should be done only when the content is highly volatile, time-limited, specific to individual users, or sensitive/confidential. For static content this will only require more bandwidth to send the same stuff down the line...an important consideration if you have a "budget" or cap on how much traffic your hosting space allows.

The caching part came up because when I changed the page and uploaded, the new page didn't show because of the old page being cached. Most users wouldn't know to clear that if needed. The pages won't be highly volatile, I'd just like the visitors to see the current page, not one they saw before.

So, to recap, #1 is taken care of perfectly. #2 will be fixed with a new host that doesn't use frames, correct? And #3 is an 'iffy'.

Generally, if you don't update more than every week or so, the typical person's browser cache will probably have recycled by itself. Also, explicitly expiring a cache doesn't necessarily mean that everyone will play along. Unless you update more frequently, I wouldn't worry too much about it once you've finished building the initial presentation.
