Interesting Discovery Regarding the Link Header Element

One of those "lightbulb"ish moments...

<link rel="next" href="yourpage.html"> will actually load the "yourpage.html" into the browser cache and send "yourpage.html" as part of the Server Variables along with the script name of the container page. I knew this element used with rel="next" was supposed to speed up the browsing experience for the user and now I know why.

As the documentation states: "User agents may choose to preload the 'next' document, to reduce the perceived load time"

Firefox does recognize this element with the "next" attribute, but Internet Explorer 6 does not.
