(I had a good laugh at this)I often go to my web site to check stuff out. I never need to see the full first page (or many other pages) as I am navigating around. As a result I often hit *STOP* in the middle of a page load. When I do, sometimes I see the text "Transfer interrupted" in the middle of the page somewhere.
The *problem* I had was when I went back to these pages and even after reloading them (via the 'reload' button) I would still see the "Transfer interrupted" in the middle of the page (sometimes even days later).
It appeared to me that the page had somehow been altered and that was now part of the page. It always worried me, thinking "how many others see this and what do they think of my site"?
The only way I could see to clear it up was to download the page from my site, then upload it again. As far as I could tell, there was no physical difference in the two files (before and after download/upload) but that always fixed it.
The other day, a year or so later now, I finally figiured out what was going on. The page was *cached* and pressing reload only compared the cached date/time stamp to that on the web site. Since the cached version was always newer, it used that (corrupted) version.
I told this to our "web gal" at work and she said, "Just press SHIFT reload". Wow, did I feel less than smart
