Re: [Java] Re: Javascript Question

Michael,

Servers don't cache the scripts and pages, the client (browser) does.
And, yes, your scripts will not reload if you indicate in the HTML a
page expiration date. Any reloads before then will be handled solely in
the browser. But, remember, this affects all aspects of your web page:
not only the JavaScript, but the CSS, the HTML, and any other specialty
objects you have. If you have an input form on the page, DON'T DO
THIS!!!, for an updated page will not load in this case.
