ha mo, Jean-Bernard Valentaten, Mark Szlazak,
I'll simply assume that client means browser. This is one thing that a js programmer has no access to. It's part of the htt-protocol. When the client has a website cached, it will not ask the webserver for the whole document (assuming that no hard-reload was performed by the user). Instead it will simply send the webserver a request telling him which version of the files included in the website and asking to confirm whether the files are up-to-date or not. This request includes any html-document and any js-file (called libraries in programmer slang). Not included are applet classes. Since this could result in a security issue, js has no access to the request. Usually the .js files are reloaded if they have been changed in any way (even if the timestamp is the same but the filesize varies).
