VS2005 - .net 2.0 SP1 - Include javascript files into a page... I change the js file... my application see always the old version!

[Fabio Mastria]

Looks like a joke... :
As I say in the subject...

I create a javascript file, with this function:

function IndexChanged(source){

alert("Hallo");

return true;}

I include the file into a page with <script src="JS/filejs.js"
language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>, under the body

this function is used on the onclick of a component.

All works... BUT

I change the function, deleting the alert message...

press play

and when onclick is newly raised... I see again the alert message
(deleted!!)

Close VS2005... reopen it.... nothing... i see this alert...

BUT

if I erase the temporary files from internet explorer (vs 7), I don't see
the alert!

Just a question.... WHY?????

This problem looks like if it's not present if the function is in a script
block into the page and not saved in a js file...

Thanks to everyone!!!

Regards
Fabio

Are you using a web application project type or a web site project type?

This is important, as everything is essentially compiled with the
application, which means the changes in source on the page are ignored until
you recompile. Try Build or Rebuild and see if the new JS is there. If so,
you can either switch to standard web site project or compile before
testing.

browsers have this cool feature called page caching. a js file is just a
static page and the common default is to cache it for 1 day.

unfortunately an f5 (refresh) in IE does not reload cached scripts. you
may want to just switch to firefox.

Web application... :)

Nothing occurs if I recompile the entire solution...

Hi Fabio
As Bruce says... cache browser
You "salt cache" with CTRL+F5 , but i dont remember if this option
"refresh" .js files...try
Another tools is:
- Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Is very cool, for example you can delete browser cache completely, or
for domain.
Usefull for developers

How are your browser settings? By default, IE stores cached pages. I believe
Firefox is set up the same way. One of the first things I do when developing
is set to get a new copy each hit. Yes, it slows down Internet a bit, but
with broadband it is not a big deal.

But users will have the same problem?

I can't ask them to setup the browser in a specific way
