    Silly question perhaps, but how do you use/implement this?

    Example?

      I believe you just put it in your head, like this:

      try {
      document.execCommand(“BackgroundImageCache”, false, true);
      } catch(err) {}

    • Zach

      [script type="javascript"]
      try {
      document.execCommand(“BackgroundImageCache”, false, true);
      } catch(err) {}
      [/script]

      Sub in the real brackets in the code
