Answer 1

Ctrl+F5 basically used to refresh the client objects. Whenever we change anything into client scripts then we usually do ctrl+f5 to get the updates. Obviously, no developer want this. Well there is a fix for that.

Seperate your js code into external file and use it in your view.Then, you just need to set a version of JS file where you gonna place it (i.e. in your view)

<script src="path.js?123123" type="text/javascript"></script>

Suppose, path.js is your external JS file and ?123123 is basically a temporary versioning of the js file. So, the compiler will always treat it as new file by changing the number.

Hope this helps

I think the reload function can take an argument that forces full refresh. ie:

window.location.reload(true);
