Pages can change even if URL does not
  • Frames
  • CGI Scripts with POST mechanism
  • Reloading Page
  • Resizing Page
  • Client Side JavaScript
Pages can change due to:
  • Action within page (possibly a different frame)
  • Action from browser controls
Netscape allows no (known to me) rigorous detection of page changes
