| I'm rather curious, and there doesn't seem to be any sense behind it... maybe there is. | |||

| There is. The "target" attribute specifies which window you want the link to open in (Hence "target=blank" will open it in a new window). "Top" is whatever happens to be the top window at the time, so it's telling it to open the link in the current window. |

| I'm perfectly aware of what the target attribute does. However, I don't see a point in why this forum is using it either. Now, if it was for opening a new window, or when using a frame layout, I'd say the target attribute is unmissable. But in this case... |

This link was created without a target attribute. It should have one after posting. This is what I am asking, why?Originally posted by neotransotakuOriginally posted by Cymoro
Geez. I hate target="_blank" tags, too. They are just annoying. I like the functionality of back and foreward just fine, thank you. EDIT: OK, there isn't... but it used to do it only a couple days ago. (edited by FreeDOS on 06-05-04 03:56 AM) |

Or maybe he talks about Firefox, which have a better cache system.  Mozilla Firefox and plain Mozilla is diffrent, I know I tried both. I hadn't noticed target="_blank" in Firefox. It dosen't appear at all... |

| I've gotten used to shift-click as well ... that's how it's done in Internet Explorer Mine also likes to randomly reload pages when I do Back, even when it doesn't need to (and when I don't want it to) ... and yes, cache is enabled |

| Shift-click in Firefox opens a new tab. I like middle-clicking links to do that, though. (Middle clicking on anything but a link brings up auto-scroll) Firefox caches things like Flash animations and images... Internet Explorer only caches HTML. Kitten Yiffer: Do you happen to have Tabbar Extensions? You can actually change the behaviour of the special target names with it. |

Originally posted by FreeDOS I just checked my Temporary Internet Files folder...I see .jpg and .gif files in there anyways, I think no browser has a perfect cache system...or maybe the "always check for new updated copy" always downloads the file again... |

| Well... last time I checked it always reloads images every time you go to a page... Maybe it caches images, but doesn't used the cached files. Why it would do that, I don't know. |

Oh, it certainly caches them (and not only images, Temporary Internet Files has files of various types) ... a good example of this is with sites that don't allow outside linking  View the page, see [x], go to the URL manually, see the image, go back, the image is still there ... reload and it's gone ... |

| Firefox doesn't reload images on refresh, unless one of three things: 1. You press CTRL+F5. That ignores the cache altogether. 2. The site told it not to. (Using Header-cache: none) 3. You disabled the cache. Anyway... This thread has served its purpose and should be closed. If anyone wants to continue talking about how browsers work, they can make a new thread |
