Answer 1

I have been equally annoyed with this problem. Why is IE so frustratingly different?

I found that setting Cache-Control: no-cache in the HTML file wasn't helping. What helped was to actually set that in the response header.

In my case I'm drawing a Google chart and I need it to redraw whenever I visit the page (IE11 was even preventing the redraw of my chart when I refreshed the page manually!).

I'm using ASP.NET MVC and this code in my action method solves the problem.

Response.CacheControl = "no-cache";

Hope this helps.
