| Refresh / Reload |
Use the Refresh (Internet Explorer) or
Reload (Netscape) button to update a web page. If a web
page is taking longer usual to load, hit the Refresh
/ Reload button; this often helps the page to load faster.
Have you ever called someone on the phone and found that you
had a bad connection? Did you hang up, called the person again
and realised you got a better connection? It's the same thing
on the Internet.
Another good reason to update a web page is because what you
may be seeing on your screen may actually be an outdated page.
How? Your computer can store information from previous visits
to a web page. This allows a web page to load faster the next
time you visit since it's loading information from your computer's
memory and not from the web site. If you are shopping at a website
you visited in the past, you should hit the Refresh / Reload
button to make certain you are viewing up-to-date prices.
Tip: If you click a link to a page and you got that pesky
"Page Not Found" error, or the pages comes up blank, try hitting
the Refresh / Reload button. Your browser may
just find it on the second try. |

| History |
| Have you ever visited a website and later, you
just could not remember the address? Yup, it happens to all
of us. Fortunately you can check your browser's history. The
History stores the address of websites you visited from as far
back as a few weeks. All you need to do is open up your history
file and search through the list of sites to see if any names
ring a bell. |
