Stop Opera (mobile) caching javascript

2 New Member
Hi all,
I have standard AJAX script that calls a php file to load the latest information and uses xmlHTTP.respons eText to write it to innerHTML of a div by id. It works fine on IE/firefox, but I'm having trouble with Opera Mobile, due to javascript caching (at least that is my suspicion)

I installed Opera for Windows and had the same problem (described below), until I set the Other Modification setting to 0 in opera.ini (i.e. to set Opera to always run the script). However, this setting doesn't exist in Opera Mobile, and thus I need another solution.

The problem:
The first time the call is made (triggered by onClick), the correct data is returned. However, every subsequent click (which always calls the same function) just returns the same data, and very quickly. This makes me think that it is not calling the php file, just loading the variable or similar from cache.

The question:
What methods can I use to stop Opera Mobile caching the javascript? (i can post code if necessary, but I feel like there should be a generic solution)

Thanks!

For the URL, add a date/time at the end, e.g.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. script.php?time=' + new Date().getTime();

After my web page has been loaded I'm doing some tests with a JavaScript. If I figure out that something is wrong I'd like to reload the whole frameset. With Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox I can reload the whole frameset with parent.location.href = "index.html"; However, this doesn't work with Opera. Does someone know how to do that with Opera?
