javascript weirdness

[Bruce Hadley]

At my web site, www.softwareceo.com, the dropdown menus in
the top navigation bar are driven by javascript. My web
designer made an update today so that under
the "Resources" tab there are now 5 items. Everyone I've
talked to, regardless of their OS & browser, sees the
update.

But I only see 4 items -- I can't see the update he made.

I have cleared my cache multiple times, restarted multiple
times, uninstalled and reinstalled Java 2 runtime
environment -- no luck. What's even weirder: This behavior
occurs in Mozilla, too -- but only on my PC.

Help, someone -- I'm stumped. I'm using IE 6, Win 2K, and
the latest VM.

I don't think this has anything to do with Java or Javascript. It sounds like
you have tried everything that could have reasonably been expected to solve
it. Since the common denominator seems to be your computer (you've eliminated
local-cache and browser-specific problems), my guess is that you are
accessing the Web through a VPN, proxy, or ISP that caches.

Try appending a bogus query string onto the end of the URL:
(e.g., http://www.softwareceo.com/?fubar)
The server won't care, but it may fool any upstream cache into thinking its a
different page.
