One of the most common browsers in Use today is Internet Explorer which is packaged with your Windows Installation.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx which works very well, the most common issue we see from clients using IE ( Internet Explorer ) is caching of previously viewed webpages causing them to think our server is not updating their webpages immediately.
Caching
Web documents retrieved may be stored (cached) for a time so that they can be conveniently accessed if further requests are made for them. The issue of whether the most up-to-date copy of the file is retrieved is handled by the caching program which initially makes a brief check and compares the date of the file at its original location with that of the copy in the cache. If the date of the cached file is the same as the original, then the cached copy is used. Web browsers normally maintain a cache of retrieved documents and this cache is used for retrievals where possible.
I have found that caching many times causes old pages to be viewed and this can cause issues. In IE you can turn off caching
Go to Tools / Internet Options
Click on the Advanced button
Scroll down almost to the bottom and check Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed
Recently I have changed my browser to
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
I have found it works just as well as IE but does not appear to having caching issues.
