[Javascript] downloading javascript

[BEKIM BACAJ]

casse1:It is possible that the jscript file is not loading at all in these 
pages, may happen that you've moved these pages to another folder after 
you've tested them?! In this casse, the script file is ot of the target and 
can not be found. Even if the script resides in the browser chache, the 
browser always checks for it in the server, so if any updated changes are 
made it will downlad the newer version. If the file is not found there, the 
script from the chache will not read at all.

casse2:The script TAG is placed at the end of the HTML, and the HTML is lot 
shorter than the external script it will fail to initiate, but this may 
happen to all external scripts because of asyncronity. No error will ocure 
if the function is not called emediately after the onload event.

But sometimes it depends explicitely on the nature of the script and what's 
the function call!

>Questions:
>1. Why wouldn't the javascript still be in the user cache?
>2. If the javascript is not found, why isn't the script found on the

>3. Could the html be so small that the javascript does not have time to

>4. How is a page loaded?  ie starts with the html and as soon as external

>Thanks for your help!
