The Refresh button loads the displayed page again.
Sometimes a page does not load completely the first time. Or it may be a page that changes frequently, like one that gives news or sports scores or stock market prices. When you return to a page you have already seen, IE normally uses the copy it stored in a temporary storage area, called the cache. Using the copy stored on the hard drive speeds up the display. You can use the Refresh button to force the browser to look for a newer version. The page should blank out and then reload from scratch.
If you
suspect that your browser is using an old copy of a page, hold down
the SHIFT key while you click the Refresh button. This should force
IE to look at the original page instead of the copy in the
cache.
If a page has definitely changed
(perhaps when you are editing one
of
your own HTML pages), but the browser refuses to show the new
version, you should clear the browser's cache and then Refresh to make IE go find
the newest version of the page. ( | |
