Clear the cache in JavaScript
You can call window.location.reload(true) to reload the current page. It will ignore any cached items and retrieve new copies of the page, css, images, JavaScript, etc from the server. This doesn't clear the whole cache, but has the effect of clearing the cache for the page you are on.
However, your best strategy is to version the path or filename as mentioned in various other answers. In addition, see Revving Filenames: don’t use querystring for reasons not to use ?v=n as your versioning scheme.
You can't clear the cache with javascript.A common way is to append the revision number or last updated timestamp to the file, like this:
myscript.123.jsor
myscript.js?updated=1234567890
Try changing the JavaScript file's src? From this:
<script language="JavaScript" src="js/myscript.js"></script>To this:
<script language="JavaScript" src="js/myscript.js?n=1"></script>This method should force your browser to load a new copy of the JS file.
