"Check for Newer Versions of Web Pages" setting in ipad safari browser

[Paresh]

Hi IPad - Apps


In IE or in FF there is cache setting available for "Check for Newer Versions of Web Pages" so if you set it automatically then it will automatically update browser cache memory.

IS there anything like that same settings available in ipad safari browser ?? if not available then what is the default behaviour of browser cache ? how it work in ipad safari ?

In IE there are 4 options available for settings

[TABLE="class: dataTable"]
[TR="class: evenRecord"]
[TD]Every visit to the page
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR="class: record"]
[TD]Every time you start Internet Explorer
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR="class: evenRecord"]
[TD]Automatically
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR="class: record"]
[TD]Never
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

With respect to your question, the default for Safari on the iPad is to check every visit (or in IE terms, automatically). That is if you open a website, subsequently leave it for another and then go back to it (locate it and tap on it in the grid view) it will reload. If you simply move forward and backward within the website the page does not refresh.

That being said you can always clear Safari's cache. Go to Settings > Safari (left-hand menu) > Clear Cache.

Hope that helps, welcome again and enjoy!

Thank you very much for help.

I vaguely recall reading that it was <2MB for the original iPad. I'd assume that for the iPad 2 that number is higher, but can't be sure. You might want to Google around a bit to see what you find.

Here's another thread discussing the same info:
