[thelist] .css files vs inline CSS and .js vs inline JS?

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

   Sure, although it depends on the browser settings.  Usually the browser will check for a new version, and if it hasn't changed -- as is most often the case with static files like these -- then it will not try to download the file again.

I heard that when styles are moved to a .css file that the client caches it
so that they don't have to continually download the same thing over and
over. Is this true? If that applies for javascript, when placing
javascript code in a .js file, does it also cache it as well?
