One word of warning about IE/Javascript

So i've been developing a small app for myself (might release the code later) and i've been trying to test some Javascript. Yet i was always getting funny errors. Like the object doesn't exist, etc. Even though i have just created it. Anyway this morning, fresh pair of eyes i remembered Caching. Oh yes. Remember folks when testing Js (or CSS for that matter) to either hit `CTRl` and `R` for a fresh refresh or just set your browser to check for `newer version` on every visit.

Practice alot .. In those earlier days I didn't like it either, now it is one of my favorites ;) Javascript evolved from a basic gui supporting scripting language to a full blown scripting language with full OO support, and tons of possibilites. Some sites have even been build on top of a Javascript layer/framework like GMail .. must mean something ;)

Hold down SHIFT and click refresh in the browser bar, too. Been doin' this for years!

Well, I always set my browsers that I use for development to not cache anything at all...
