Occasionally,
after an update
to a client's
site, they will
call to say that
they're still
seeing the old
content on their
browser, and
question whether
the updates were
ever done.
Answer... hit
your "Refresh"
button!
Sometimes
your web browser
will display an
older version of
a web page
rather than the
latest available
version. That's
because your
browser, in the
interest of
speed, may load
the page from
the browser
"cache" on your
hard disk rather
than from the
web (a page is
likely to be
stored in your
cache if you
visited it
recently).
Although this
isn't much of an
issue when
you're browsing
web sites that
are not updated
frequently, it
can become a
problem if
you're visiting
sites in which
having the
latest
information is
important, such
as news sites or
your personal
start page.
Fortunately,
there's a simple
solution to
this: You can
refresh the
page, forcing
your browser to
download the
latest version
from the web.
