Is a previously viewed web page stored on my computer?

    Hi - I'm sorry if this is a stupid question! I looked at a web page earlier today, and should have copied some stuff off it. When I return to the page now it has changed, some of the content has been altered. As I looked at the page earlier in the day, is that version of the page stored somewhere on my computer? Thanks

    Some content get's "cached", but that does not mean the whole page unfortunately. My guessing is you won't be able to get the old revision back, search for the web page in google, and look for the small arrow next to it and click "Cached", this may contain the revision you want
