javascript_howto thread: Re: Problem with javascript include


Message #1 by "Tom Staresinic" <tom_staresinic@h...> on Sun, 19 May 2002 02:41:50
Hi, did you resolve your error? I have the same error. I know what the 
problem is but i can't fix it. The problem is that the browser keeps 
loading an old copy of the include file. So when javascript in my html 
page calls a newly added function in the .js file I get the same error as 
you (becasue the new function does not exist in the outdated copy of the 
js file). What really annoys me is that i found the js file in the 
browser's (Explorer v5) temporary cache/folder and i deleted. i can't 
believe but as soon as i open the html page in the browser the outdated 
file re-appears in the cache instead of it downloading the updated js file-
- it's like it has a hidden cache for the cache itself! I have searched 
the entire hard disk and could not find a second hidden cache.
