Question

I use jQuery AJAX with cache: false. This adds a '_': '[Timestamp]' in my request parameters.

Is it possible to change the variable name? I want to change the _ to id.

If not do someone know which function jQuery uses to create the timestamp?

Answer 1

Not possible without changing the jQuery code as it is hard-coded in. Instead just create your own timestamp id using getTime() and append it to your ajax data variable like so:

var d = new Date();    
 .ajax ({
     url: url.php
     data: mydata + "&id=" + d.getTime();
    // rest of the ajax stuff
    )}

cheers!
