Netscape

Press the Reload button or use the menu options View, Reload.

Netscape checks with the server to see if an update has occurred before bringing a page from cache. If any change to the page has occurred, a fresh version is transmitted from the Web; otherwise, a copy is quickly retrieved from cache.

If Reload fails to display the updated page, press the Reload button while holding down the Ctrl key (Option key on Macintosh).
Netscape retrieves a fresh version from the Web whether the page has been updated or not. Cache is not used. This type of reload is useful if you suspect the cached copy of a page has been corrupted.

If Reload while holding down Ctrl fails, empty your Netscape disk cache:

For Netscape version 4.7, 6.0, 7.0:
On the Edit menu of your Netscape toolbar, click Preferences.
Click the Advanced category and select Cache.
Click the Clear Disk Cache button and the Clear Memory Cache button.
Click OK.

America Online and Compuserve Users

If you are an AOL member, your default browser is Internet Explorer. (However, AOL and Compuserve members have the option to use any standalone browser installed on their PC.) AOL/Compuserve's caching servers control the Refresh/Reload process. Changes to the pages may not be reflected immediately if accessed via AOL/Compuserve and the standard browser Refresh/Reload sequences will not retrieve the latest version of the website. According to AOL's webmaster information page, this updating may take up to 24 hours. For more technical information, select the "AOL Network Info" option on http://webmaster.info.aol.com, and select "Caching."
