Can you elaborate on "I load information for a file"?

Sounds like a cache issue. Are you using a server-side implementation?

Yes I'm using server-side implementation (Apache and PHP)
I read the values of the file in variables, then I write to the dropdownlist.

foreach ($fich as $line)
echo "<option value....

Cache from web server, I think dont make sense (everything is ok on explorer) maybe Firefox post cache (but it works in the first time...)???

It appears that IE is caching your values locally and Firefox is not. Since you most likely have not specified caching rules for the page each app is making up it's own mind of how to handle it.

Try adding this at the top of the PHP page to force the browser to cache the form data:

header("Cache-control: private");

I have tried the line header("Cache-control: private"); and still no cache.

But your right, firefox is caching the values
if I do a remote access. So the problem is with my local test server. Less bad, no problem for the client ;)

but I'm still looking for a way to make firefox cache locally my dropdownlist.

Thanks
