Title: IE problem
Post by: Nico on September 11, 2003, 10:07:01 am

I have a quite annoying pb with internet explorer ( 6 ). it keep refreshing every page ( when I click the back button, for exemple, shouldn't refresh the page, but it does. and it does it slowly, of course ), it lags like hell, it's a pain in the neck. started doing that last week, I didn't instal anything, and the only thing I changed the whole week was turning on and off XP firewall. Did someone already run into that kind of crap and can help?

check TOOLS -> INTERNET OPTIONS -> ADVANCED... i'm just guessing, but it may be something in there

doesn't work, even if I put "never", it doesn't give a damn.

bah, shit. any alternative to IE, but one that has no compatibility pb? I don't give a damn about fancy tools or crappy skins, just want a browser that doesn't mess up anything.

What do you mean about compatibility? You mean able to view pages with IE-only features like the deprecated dhtml? If that's what you mean, I don't think I can help.  However Mozilla, Mozilla Firebird, and Opera are rather compliant with web standards (Opera has some problems with xml). You could try Amaya as well, I haven't used it much, but it's a W3C browser so it should be very compliant.


Note: Actually I believe you can use DynAPI to view dhtml pages. http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/dynapi/ It's not officially supported by any of those browsers iirc.

In IE, press CTRL-O, type in "www.mozilla.org", and press enter. ;)

Seriously, though, Tools > Internet Options... General tab, Temporary Internet Files section, click on the Settings... button. "Automatically" is usually what works best.
