Two Javascript questions:

(1) Thoughts on how to make an externally referenced JS file as persistent 
as possible?  I'm working on a site where a long and complex Javascript is 
used to create a collapsing menu system, and I want to avoid loading the 
script every single time a user accesses one of the many pages on the 
site.

I recall reading somewhere that JS files get "special treatment" in the 
cache (Netscape, at least) as compared to other kinds of files, but I can't 
recall the details -- anyone know about this?

Conversely, I'm also looking at "load once, run many" routes such as 
stuffing the script in a hidden frameset inside which the rest of the site 
would be nested, but this would cause the usual frames problems as far as 
I can tell: bookmarking screwed up, etc.  

Suggestions?

Also, where can I find a complete listing of default JS document properties 
affecting layout and display -- background color, font, etc?  I had such a 
reference bookmarked, but can't find it now... I'm doing up a "page   
customization" script, and want to give users control over as many 
aspects of the display as possible.
