Major bug in IE: After page event, no cache?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 27.2004

After a page event, like opening an external link in a new window, the next page in the site that launched the new window downloads all images, stylesheets, javascript etc new, not from cache.

This slows down the browsing experience of a site immensely, plus increases traffic. This seems to be a MAJOR bug in (at least) IE 6.0, as this doesn’t happen with any other browser.

I tried to use HTTP headers, but this had no effect.

Does anyone know a solution to this, or do we have to wait till such a basic thing will be solved in the next update to IE?

?

you might try changing the settings in IE, Tools > Internet Options... > Settings... and change the page caching settings

@MikeNLauthorJul 27.2004 — That would only change my personal settings, not those of other users.

I posted this problem on the Microsoft developers sites, let's see what their response is...

It helps if you start a question there with "MAJOR BUG IN IE"
