Changing and reloading included .js files

Hi

I just came a problem with JS on a site - I updated my .js file for
the site, it is included as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet " href="whatever. css" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="whatever.j s"></script>

Problem: IE does not automatically reload the .js file (nor .css) but
uses a cached version - which caused the site to fail this morning.
I know users have to press F5 to reload, but is there a way to _force_
reload, so¨my (stupid) users do not have too?

Your stylesheet is irrelevant here. A stylesheet is not a script (at least
not in non-NN4).
<script type="text/javascript" src="whatever.j s"></script>

Despite statements to the contrary, this works also with non-Apache servers.

Something like a php function that can be called? I have php in a page that needs to be update periodically (basically poll results) without reloading the page around it (I do have a button you can click). Is this possible? Or should I make some sort of Iframe with the php page in it that could be reloaded. The php code basicaly just writes a table to the page with the results of the polls included. Thanks for the help.

The problem is this: when the user presses the Calculate button, the whole page is reloaded and, on a large page, this is very noticeable. Is there any way that I can get the calculation done and the result displayed without reloading...

Another n00b question, is it possible with JavaScript to manipulate the address bar without reloading a page? i.e. can I add something like "?pageId=1234" at the end of the address bar text without actually changing the page that is currently loaded? Can you provide some example code? -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
