Question

I have a cms in which I can change positions of objects. After each position change ajax call updates the whole list of objects. But unfortunately some data is stored in cache and no changes are visible. Is there a way to force clearing cache with javascript/request/other ? I’ve tried ‘cache: false’ in $.ajax but it’s not working.

Here’s a sample page :

http://ntt.vipserv.org/manage/playforward

And my js :

$(".object-position").livequery("change", function() {
    $("#objects-list input").attr('disabled', true);
    var action = $(this).attr('name');
    var position = $(this).attr('value');
    var id = $(this).attr("id");
    var model = id.split("-")[0];
    var object_id = id.split("-")[1];

    $("#loader").show();
    $("#loader").fadeIn(200);

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        async: true,
        url: "/manage/update_position/",
        data: "action=" + action + "&model=" + model + "&object_id=" + object_id + "&position=" + position,
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(data){
            $("#loader").fadeOut("fast", function () {
                $("#loader").hide();
            });
            $("objects-list").html(data["html"]);
            $("#message").show();
            $("#message").fadeIn(400).html('<span>'+data["message"]+'</span>');
            setTimeout(function(){
                $("#message").fadeOut("slow", function () {
                    $("#message").hide();
                });
            }, 1500); 
        }
    });
    $("#objects-list input").attr("disabled", false);
    return false;
});

Answer 1

You have

$("objects-list").html(data["html"]);

Try this instead:

$(".objects-list").html(data["html"]); // forgot leading dot?

Also, it looks like you’re trying to replace the contents of the .objects-list table with some html that includes the <table> element itself. So you’d have <table...><table...>, etc., after the .html() content replacement.
