Thanks, that work to prevent the file from caching, but now it pops up a info bar in Firefox stating: "This web site is asking to store data on your computer for offline use." Which again is exactly the opposite of what I want to happen. Very annoying and will not be too user friendly for our novice users -- we cater to healthcare professionals who are less than Internet savvy. Anyway to keep the manifest and ditch the info bar or is this just the way it is with firefox?

I'm not actually sure... You can move it into separate question, I'd glad to see the answer :)

an equivalent solution is to reference a manifest file that doesn't exist: <html manifest="/doesnt-exist.appcache"> but this will show up in the console in chrome developer tools.

This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped. Avoid using it and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/…
