IE cache and dynamic pages

Does IE cache dynamic pages?

If I immediately "refresh" the page, should IE get the page from cache or request it from the website?

I believe if you hit "refresh" it will get it from the site.

THere's a few websites that I regularly need to 'refresh' to get the most current stuff.

It depends on what headers the web-server sends out and it also depends on what settings you have in IE. If you always want to check the page is current then go to Tools > Internet Options > General tab and in the Temporary Internet Files section click the 'Settings' button. Then make sure 'check for newer version of page' is set to 'Every visit to page'.

Reloading should force it to get the page from the server. However, to be sure to use CTRL-F5 to force a refresh of all page assets (images, css files, javascript etc).
