Crazy Firefox Behavior

Post by yacahuma »

Could someone please confirm this? I am going nuts :banghead: . This only happen on Firefox 3.0.4. I tried opera and explorer and they are ok.
1. Copy paste code into test.htm(or any name)
2. View your page(http://localhost/test.htm), MALE should be checked
3. Now edit the code and change check to female
4. reload page

100% of the time, the browser still shows MALE

I hope I am doing something stupid.Maybe is time to go to sleep for a while. :?:

I see the update if I force the reload. Why is it in cache?

Code: Select all

 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="radio" value="M" name="Sex" checked="checked"  />Male
<input type="radio" value="F" name="Sex"   />Female
</form>
</body>
</html>

I just open a bug on bugzilla. I looked and someone filed the bug on 2007, but still there.

Firefox employs heavy caching which can be annoying. It tries to remember all your choices in forms you have visited

This can come in useful many times if you're filling out large forms and the page reloads your data is still present.

If you don't want the page to be cached then some the appropriate headers.

Otherwise if you are developing press ctrl + (R | F5) when you want to see changes.


haha, the irony. when i almost finished writing this post i pressed f5.

thankfully the text didn't go.
