Refresh /Reload DEFINITION
These are buttons that are found on web browsers - they perform the
same function. You should press this button to see new web content,
when a webpage appears not to have loaded correctly (e.g. if there is
text or graphics missing) or if a page seems to be taking a long time
to download. Depending on the problem, this may correctly load the page.
In some cases several attempts may be required.
Justine's Note to YOU:
The procedure for Refreshing or Reloading is slightly different depending
on which browser you are using (AOL, Explorer, Navigator, etc...). What
is the big fuss? Why is it important to Reload/Refresh?? The concept
is pretty simple really...what happens is the browser software caches
(saves) an old copy of pages you have been to so it can reload them
fast when you ask. The problem is that you get a copy of the OLD page
and if the webweaver has made changes since you have been tot he site
then you don't get to see them...crummy right?? But, the bright side
is that the browser (software you use to see the internet websites)
has a function where you can update the page by reloading/refreshing
the page you are visiting...I always do it to be sure i have the most
current page....below are some pictures from my computer, to help you
learn how to refresh/reload your own browser....
