Question

i make a Jquery function that (for the moment) call a function dinamically and print it with an alert. with firefox, chrome : it works! when i try on IE7 (the first time), it fails. If i reload the page (F5) and retry , it works! o_O

I FINALLY understand why that’s happen. In my old website i used the jquery-1.3.2.min.js library. On this i use the jquery-1.4.2.js and in fact it doesnt work. So what’s up? A bug in this new version?

cheers

EDIT

actual functions (with Bryan Waters suggestions):

// html page
<a href="#" onClick="pmNew('1');return false">prova</a>    

// javascript page
function pmNew(mexid) {
    var time = new Date;
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        cache: false,
        url: './asynch/asynchf.php' + '?dummy=' + time.getTime(),
        data: 'mexid='+escape(mexid)+'&id=pmnew',
        success: function(msg) {
            alert(msg);
        }
    });
    return false;
}

// ajax.php
if($_POST['id']=="pmnew") {
    echo "please, i will just print this";
}

Fiddler result : if i use http://localhost/website fiddler doesnt capture the stream. if i use http://ipv4.fiddler/website it capture the stream, but at the ajax request doesnt appair. if i refresh the page, yes it works. mah…i really don’t know how resolve this problem…

Best way to debug is to download Fiddler and see what the HTML traffic is going on and if the browser is even making the ajax request and what the result is 200 or 404 or whatever.

I’ve had problems with IE cacheing even on posts. And not even sending out the requests. I usually create a date object in javascript and add a dummy timestamp just to make the url unique so it won’t be cached.
