When loading content through AJAX which contains an externally linked Javascript file or when

  • 0

When loading content through AJAX which contains an externally linked Javascript file or when using jQuery.getScript() function call, the linked Javascript files are appended with a cache busting parameter, which prevents the file from being cached by the browser.

So, instead of writ­ing some­thing like <script src="/js/foo.js">, it writes some­thing like <script src="/js/foo.js?_=ts2477874287">, caus­ing the script to be loaded fresh each time.

Is there a way to disable this and have the file cached when it’s loaded?

    I don’t know about getScript, but cache is a parameter you can set in a .ajax() parameter map. It’s false by default for scripts but you can flip it to true. Once false, it won’t append a cache-busting query string.
