Question

I’m trying to edit an aspx page…mainly javascript, and I randomly see changes that I’ve made when refreshing.

I’m using jquery, but I’m not sure that jquery is the culprit here.

For example. If I add a simple alert(“hello”); in the page I’m calling, I do not see it take place until I have cleared all my temp files and cache, closed my browser opened back up…and even then, sometimes, I still don’t see my changes.

Any ideas?

Do a Ctrl+F5 to force a full refresh, this will make your scripts reload. IE likes to hold onto things…usually in a way that doesn’t make any sense of obey any rules.

Alternatively, set no cache on the server, like this:

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

Or in the head of the page html, like this:

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"/>
