I am trying to refresh a page, but WANT to use the cache and can't figure out how to do this. There are two situations:
If I click in the URL bar and hit enter (or visit the page from somewhere else) it reloads the page/images from the cache. GREAT!
If I click on the refresh button or use Javascript to refresh the page it grabs all the images again and takes forever. NOT GREAT!
I've tried: top.location.reload(false);
and top.location.reload(true);
(I'm sending this from in an iFrame) and neither used the cache. I'm avoiding using location
so it doesn't end up in the browser history twice.
Question: How do I reload the page using the cached images? Is there a different javascript function or is this a mod_expires issue?
Thanks for any help in advance!
EDIT: (info from chrome: developer tools)
- When navigating to the page I get "From Cache" for all images
- When refreshing page I get "304 - Not Modified" for all images (and it takes the time to download each)
