I've peen telling people for 18 months that this is a problem!
Here's some simple code:
var docText = "<html><head><title>Something New</title></head>
<body>Blah, blah, blah.</body></head>"
// write the page
with ( document ) {
close();
open( "text/html", "replace" );
writeln( docText );
close();
};
For 'whatever' reason I wish to reuse the existing loaded and rendered
page for something else.
When I use this in Netscape 4.7x it works perfectly.
As I understand it Netscape generates an internal 304 invalidating
the page in cache, the memory is freed, new memory is requested and the new
content is displayed, all without a trip to the server.
I have whole websites based on these principles!
Netscape 4.7x still runs them just fine, but Mozilla and Netscape 6.x
just go belly up over this simple feature.
