Stored Web Pages in Your Browser (cache)
Cache is a collection of web page copies stored on your computer's hard disk or in its random-access memory (RAM). The browser accumulates these copies as you browse the Web.
Sometimes, you need to clear your cache in order to view the latest version of a web page.
Clearing your cache in Netscape:
* Click on Edit
* Click on Preference
* Double Click on Advanced (so it expands)
* Click on Cache
* On the right you will see two buttons - clear disk cache and clear memory cache
* Click on both of them
* Click OK
* Close Netscape and then reopen
Clearing your cache in Internet Explorer
* Click Tools
* Click Internet Options.
* On the General tab, click Clear History
* Click OK
* Close IE and reopen
