Java cached in browser

[Greywolfe]

What I would like to know are methods to insure that a .js file cached by the browser is the correct one and hasn't been altered on the client side to work differently than intended.

I know from experience, that you can alter js files in the cache and that the file won't update if the file size remains the same size.

Please let me know your thoughts, and if you have questions about the situation, just ask. :)

Jim,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]!

You should set up your server to send appropriate cache-control headers for each kind of content on your site. There are various ways to do it, from server configuration to server-side scripting.
