Browser Buttons Revisited:
``Refresh''
Featured Publication In the March edition of this publication, we discussed browser buttons in the article entitled ``Where Am I?''.   Now we revisit the topic with an article about the ``Refresh'' button (called ``Reload'', in Netscape Navigator).
When using a web browser, you may find that some pages do not seem to display properly.   Rather than assuming that you need to update your browser, or that there is some even worse problem, all you may need to do is click on the big button at the top of your browser window called ``Refresh'' or (``Reload'').
You may have to reload pages several times in some instances, but often the first try fixes the problem.   Whenever you don't think you have a full page of information displayed as you visit a website, try the ``Refresh'' button.   Faulty page loads may be caused by bad modem connections or faulty modems.
