Caching the java script by browser

I'm wandering how does browser caches the javascript files. I have utility.js and I use it on multiple pages. I know that when I go to www.some_host/page1.html the utility.js is cached for that request. What happens if I go to different page www.some_host/page2.html, utility.js is requested again from server or take it from browser cache?

The browser normally follows the caching rules employed for the other resources (pages, images etc...)

Everything is cached based on its own URI. It doesn't matter what caused the browser to load it (unless you have something like Vary: referer in the headers, which I've never seen)
