Caching js script files

[sirlojik]

Hi all,
Ive been wondering, are js files cached by the browser on default? if that's the case then i don't think it works or im getting it wrong. everytime i reload my browser window the scripts are re-downloaded. is there a way to ensure they get cached?

It depends on the default settings for each browser. There are many browsers on many operating systems, and each will have their own default settings. Asking a blanket question to try and get an answer for all is pointless.

is there a way to ensure they get cached?

No. If a user has turned caching off, then why should we as developers be able to override this?
