I'm using JavaScript/Jquery to make a page auto-update with a value from a database, although it doesn't seem to update in Internet Explorer. It works fine in FireFox & Chrome. Can anyone explain what's wrong? It looks like IE is just displaying a cached version of the page. How can I prevent this happening? Thanks.
function updateComm() {
var url="commandSys.php";
jQuery("#theElement").load(url);
}
setInterval("updateComm()", 1000);
Try disabling the cache with ajaxSetup
$.ajaxSetup ({
// Disable caching of AJAX responses */
cache: false
});
function updateComm() {
var url="commandSys.php";
jQuery("#theElement").load(url);
}
setInterval(updateComm, 1000);
Alternatively, you can manually just append a +new Date
to url
so it appends a query string to prevent caching.
Alternatively, disable caching on the server-side.
Your php page is cached. Has nothing to do with the interval. Set the right caching headers on the page.
