    Some browsers will not correctly cache URLs with a query, it's better to have the version be part of the URL. Here's what I did to one site:

    I have the javascript in a folder called /js/ and I have a symbolic link to that folder with the version number, so the application spits out:

    <script src="/js4/foo.js"></script>

    He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.

      Hey, I am interested in this, do you mind point out the browser that does that? thanks.
