Forum Moderators: open
suppose:
read.php?page=1
and 2 links
<a href="read.php?page=2" target="_self">link 1</a>
<a href="read.php?page=2" target="_blank">link 2</a>
both read.php?page=1 and read.php?page=2 contains the same: image.gif
user now in read.php?page=1
if user click on "link 1", IE _navigate_ to read.php?page=2, and it don't check if image.gif is modified
but if user click on "link 2", IE _open_ up a new window to load read.php?page=2, and it check for image.gif to see if it's modified, even it's cached in read.php?page=1
what i meant is, when IE open a new window, it will not use cached images immediately but ask the server to see if it's modified
