Forcing a page refresh - like NO-CACHE

Forcing a page refresh - like NO-CACHE

Hi all,

So, I have a legacy older site that I have converted to html5 and jquery. 

when using links from page1.html to page2.html like:

<a rel="external" href="page2.html">page2</a>

on some pages like page2.html I NEED to make sure to have NO CACHE happening.

Problem: nothing this newbie does will force a page refresh for Page2.html

I have tried: 
<meta http-equiv=”Pragma” content=”no-cache”>
<meta http-equiv=”Expires” content=”-1″>
<meta http-equiv=”CACHE-CONTROL” content=”NO-CACHE”>

But they don't seem to work here...

Q: How can I make sure to always have NO CACHE on a certain page?

Q: Is there a javascript / jQuery way to make sure and work like - NO-CACHE so the entire page will load fresh?
