Safari on iPhone

On my iPhone 3GS, how do I clear all browsing history in Safari. (Think I've found that, but it doesn't seem to work; the same dumb movie keeps coming back every time I launch Safari.) And, how do I clear the cache and any cookies? It's simple in Safari on the Mac, History in the menu bar, then clear.

In Firefox, there's a Tool>Clear all history which includes browsing, cache and cookies.

Also, is there any other security feature on the iPhone that I should be aware of?

-----

If the same movie comes back each time you launch safari, hit the "new window" button in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, then hit the X on the window that hosts the video.

-----

Hit the double box icon at the bottom right and the x the page out.

-----

Same topic - is there a way to refresh Safari without going to the top?

-----

If you tap the top bar (where the time is displayed), Safari (and many other apps) will instantly scroll to the top of the page, where a single additional tap will trigger a reload.

-----

In the Settings > Safari scroll down and tap clear History, clear cookies and clear cache.

When in Safari, tap on bookmark icon, then keep tapping on the bookmark tab, until you reach the History folder icon, tap on it. You should see a Clear History button.
