  • After you have used the Back button, the Forward button becomes available. It will move your web browser forward.  Try it now if you’d like - click on the Back Button, then the Forward button to return to this page.
  • The Refresh (Internet Explorer) or Reload (Netscape) buttons give the command to load a new copy of the page you’re visiting again.  You’ll use this if a page doesn’t load properly, or if your Web Browser has in its memory (cache) a page that has been updated. If you clicked on the Refresh or Reload button now, the Web Browser will simply reload this page.
