Stopping Downloads and Reloading Pages

The Refresh button is especially valuable when viewing frequently updated pages, such as weather information, traffic maps, or stock quotes, to guarantee that the version you see is the most recent and not a stale copy from the Internet Explorer cache. You should also click the Refresh button when a download fails in the middle of a page or when one or more objects on a page fail to load, as in the example in Figure 18.10.
