Javascript during debugging is not up to date.

Question

I am using VS 2008 to write my Javascript code ( mostly in JQuery). However the js file was not updated when I was done with the editing and pressed F5 to call out the debugger. I need to close my vs2008 and reopen it in order to see the latest changes in js file.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Answer 1

Clear the cache in your browser. It's usually that it has a locally cached copy.

Answer 2

js is heavily cached. Use a timestamp and append it to the url:

script.js?_s=12345678

this will force a refresh

Answer 3

clear the browser cache.. thats the usual culprit

Answer 4

If you can use Firefox instead, install the Web Developer Toolbar plugin, and you can disable caching for certain sites, i.e. the site you are developing.

Answer 5

Do a CTRL-F5 in the browser to force a hard refresh of all files the page is using.
