I saw the following sentences in developers.google.com while studying gwt.

"The "`cache`" files contain your application's logic. If you were to look inside a 
`.nocache.html` file, you would see that it is JavaScript code wrapped in a thin HTML
 wrapper.You might wonder why the `GWT` Compiler doesn't simply emit it as a JavaScript .js 
file. The reason for this is that certain browsers do not correctly handle compression of 
pure-JavaScript files in some circumstances. This would effectively mean that users 
unfortunate enough to be using such a browser would download the `.js` file uncompressed. "

we are loading javascript from .cache.html file,
then why we cant download it from .js? i think now all browsers supporting javascript..

    The statement quoted seems to have explained it quite clearly: “certain browsers do not correctly handle compression of pure-JavaScript files in some circumstances”. It’s not about supporting JavaScript, it’s about supporting the compression of JavaScript files.
