SYMPTOMSWhen navigating back and forth between pages, version 3 of Internet Explorer may fail to display the most up-to-date version of a Web page. This problem occurs even when Internet Explorer is set to check for newer versions of stored pages every visit to the page. However, when this setting is applied, pages reflect updates on the server after four other pages have been visited. CAUSE
As an optimization, Internet Explorer 3.0 maintains a four page cache of
the most recently visited Web pages. When switching between pages in this
memory cache, Internet Explorer 3.0 inspects only the expiration time of
the top-level document in the Browse window. For a page containing frames,
only the highest level page with the <FRAMESET> tag is tested for
expiration.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Internet
Explorer 4.0.
