Cache
is a local storage area in your browser in which previously
viewed HTML pages and images are stored. If a previously
viewed Web page is accessed again, the copy is loaded from
the cache. With this technique, unnecessary Internet traffic
is avoided. However, once there are new versions of files
on the server, the cache must be refreshed. To ensure that
the current copy is loaded from the server and not from
the cache, clear the disk and memory cache in your browser
and load the page again.
To
clear cache in Netscape, perform the following steps:
The
following steps were created using Netscape 6.2. The steps
may look different depending on the version of Netscape you
are using.

In
the Preferences dialog box, from the Category menu, click to expand Advanced. Click to select Cache. |
|
|
 |
Under Cache, click Clear Memory Cache. Click Clear Disk Cache.
-

From Compare the page in the cache to the page
on the network, click to select Every time I view the page.
-
Every
time I view the page - Netscape will check
for a new version of a page every time you visit
it. Using this option, you are assured of the most
current content, but it takes longer to browse previously
viewed pages.
-
Automatically -
Netscape will check for a new version of a page the
first time you visit it, but any subsequent visits
to the page in the same browsing session will be
loaded from the cache.
-
Once
per session - Netscape will check pages for
changes only on your first visit in each browsing
session. If, over time, Netscape determines that
a page changes less frequently, it will check for
updates less frequently.
-
Never -
Netscape will not check for newer versions of stored
pages. This option enables the fastest browsing session,
but you could be viewing outdated content stored in
the cache.
