[OpenLayers-Users] Layer.Grid.destroy() and Google Chrome

[Armin Burger]

Hi all

I'm currently trying to test OpenLayers for an application with a 
catalogue search interface. The layer which is queried is based on 
PostGIS and retrieved from OL as WMS layer based on Mapserver/MapScript. 
The search parameters chosen by the user are defining dynamically the 
filter for the layer on the server.

This requires the layer to be completely refreshed and reloaded again 
from the server after a change of search parameters. The only 
possibility to force a complete refresh I found was to use the 
Layer.destroy() method (for Grid based layers) since this should clear 
the grid. The docs state it should "Deconstruct the layer and clear the 
grid.". After the destroy the layer is created again and added to the map.

This works fine for Firefox and IE, but in Google Chrome this destroy() 
seems not to clear the grid. In Chrome the tiles remain the same and are 
not requested again from the server.

Did anybody already notice such a behaviour as well? Could I try to use 
other methods to refresh/clear the layer grid?

Best regards
Armin
