hi,
i know the resources including java script files ,images and css files are cacheable.
i really doubt, is HTML table elements ,tr elements and td elements are cacheable ?
how does it works?

i have a table in HTML page with 1000 rows.
when i refresh the page the resources included for scripting(.js files) and .css files will be in browser cache. right?
my question is "like .js files and .css files is my HTML table is also stored in cache? "

I don't think that html is stored!

but then why do we use those??

Code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">

I persoannly have no idea! I don't use those tags, i think this is for search engines that take a chache version of your site!

actually the meta tags are used for enable/disable cacheing of resource files

my question was not answered dude......
i know resource files are cache able
i was asking about table and table elements..........

As it seems to me, I think that only the "keywords" are cached! I could be wrong but that is the first time I am seeing those meta tags! And why do you need to know this in the first place?

Hi there ranadheer.machi,

all files are cached.

Your table elements are in the cached .html file

To see what is cached in Firefox and Opera type...

about:cache

...in the address bar.

Safari for Windows is rather secretive, the cache being found here

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\SafariCache.db

Cache.db can be opened with SQLite2008 Pro Enterprise Manager

The IE cache can be found here...

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Alternatively...

Open IE browser.
click 'Tools' tab.
click 'Internet Option'.
under 'Browsing history' click 'Settings'.
click the 'View Files' tab.
