Betreff: [OpenLayers-Users] How to force the latest javascript script intoan openlayers application?

 

Hi,

 

Just a javascript question for openlayers gurus.

 

I often have to make small changes in my javscript scripts..e.g adding a layer/ changing a layer´s name etc.

 

If the user does not clear the browser cache before loading the application, the cached version will always be loaded. I got a tip which entailed writing ?1 to the end of the javascript script in the html page..

 

e.g. <script type="text/javascript" src="app.js?1"></script> and when I change something just change ?1 to ?2. But this still deosnt´ensure that the newest script will be loaded.

 

Does anyone have another better way to force the clients browser to always load the newest uncached version?

 

 

thanks,

 

Rob
