internet files). I also have the option to clear offline content. What is offline content? Mel |

Mel Whenever you go online to surf the Web, Explorer stores a copy of all pages visited including the sounds, graphics, animations and movies you saw in the windows' temporary internet files folder on your hard drive. This is what you are clearing as the offline content. |

What is offline content?
Whenever you go online to surf the Web, Explorer stores a copy of all pages visited including the sounds, graphics, animations and movies you saw in the windows' temporary internet files folder on your hard drive. This is what you are clearing as the offline content. IIRC, offline content was actually something else - you could nominate certain sites to be updated for offline access, whether or not you visited the site directly. |

Mel The temporary internet files are the ones that your machine downloads when you visit a site. Each time you visit (or however your options are set) it will look at the stored page and only update changed data (until you delete it) The Offline content is different. There is an option in IE to make a page available offline. What that does is copies ALL the page, any pages linked to it and any other relevant data. This is saved as a file much like a server saves the site. With it saved you can disconnect from the net BUT still visit the site in IE. If you want to see how it works go to the "Favorites" menu, then select "Organize Favorites" and you will see the option to "Make available offline" if you select any of the favorites you have. -- Steve W.

Isn't offline content used for people who use dial-up on a per hour or minute basis? They download all the pages on a site then they do not have to log back on the net to read the site, it's already on their pc. |
