CSS - Css Cache / Timeout
Not sure if this question should be in the CSS section:
I'm working on a site which, on first load, seems to render some of the CSS before loading the rest of the site in. This has the effect that the font-sizes are really big for a second before resizing. I've also noticed that if the site is left untouched for a while and the page refreshed then the same thing happens. Can anyone elighten me as to why this might be happening? It's very frustrating. Thanks R Similar TutorialsHi, I've just joined these forums as I have a very annoying problem. I have created a webpage which I have checked using the w3c validator - it is valid for XHTML 1.0 Transitional and Strict. It is a simple design; Header 3 Cols Footer It works perfectly in IE7, however in FireFox (2.0.0.14) I am getting some very strange behaviour. On the first, clean load (cache cleared) the page is rendered incorrectly - the Middle and Right columns being rendered below the Left Column. If you then click on the address bar and press enter (thus reloading the page from the cache) it is rendered perfectly. If I clear the cache, go to the address bar, and press enter again it renders incorrectly. Pressing F5 to refresh (ignoring the cache) also results in it being rendered incorrectly. Correct: URL Incorrect: URL I thought it might have been image dimensions not being set - so I went through and set all these to no avail.

Thanks in advance, Dave. Hi all, I have created a tree menu that is dynamically loaded from the directory structure on my web server. Because it takes a while to load, I was wondering if there is any way to cache the menu so that the browser doesn't have to load it again and again. My idea is to cache it twice a day maybe (to keep up to date as it is accessing the report). Does any one know a way of doing it? Regards, Sameer. |
