Question

caching??

How can I get around Javascript caching? For instance, if we put code in external .js files, the browser
will cache the file upon first downloading it. Therefore, upon each subsequent visit to the page that has the .js reference, the cached version will be used. This sucks if changes have been made to the .js because they will not be used.

The same goes for .cfm files?

Thanks!

    Yes, but is there a way to tell the browser:
    Do not use file.ext that is in your cache, instead use this one that's on the server?

    this is a feaure of the browser and not a feature of CF. I've never ran into the problem myself though in 5 years of building CF apps.
