Clearing Your Browsers Cache

These instructions are for clearing the cache of Microsoft and Netscape browsers. You need to clear your cache when you can't see changes in files you have uploaded because your browser is caching them on your hard disk. To increase load time, your browser will cache pages you access rather then go back to the Internet to get them.
