force a cache refresh?

I have a website that has a price list on it. The customer has recently updated the prices. However, when some users bring up the page, their browser cache has the old listing.

Is there a way to force the browser to re-read the actual file instead of using the cache?

Yes, but it can hurt your "internal linking structure".

You can use javascript or - better yet - php scripts to add a unique (time-dependent) query-string to any url on your page. Next time when people click on it, it will be different and will load the new page. If your page doesn't use query-strings, they are disregarded.

On some of my sites, people click on - say - /tv.html but I use javascript to add a time code like so: /tv.html?3284914203 ... And next time they click it will be /tv.html?3287343443

Just an example...
