Client caching

[Pål Johansen]

Is it possible to cache portions of a page client side.
I have som include pages that I would like to store at the clients cache.

You can cache anything that is normally cached on the client, such as images
an other binaries, .js files, and cookies.

In a sense, you don't.
True, and thats the problem.
It wont cache clock.js either, because after the server prosess that file it
will just be a part of the whole page.(clock.js is server side include)
So if one letter changed on the page the client will download all of the
page over again.(except the cached images) Even though clock.js is
unchanged.


But it wont cache

Thanx alot. Didn't know that.

If you use a server-side include that creates a script tag like the
following, only a change in the "clock.js" file would cause the browser to
re-download it:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clock.js"></script>

The reason is that the reference to the.js file is not changed when the page
it is in changes. It works just like an image tag. Putting an image tag into
a page that changes doesn't cause the browser to re-download the image with
every request. It only re-downloads the page.
