I have just encountered the same thing and have fixed it by setting the "cache" property of your ajax function call to false.

        $.ajax({
            url: "/ws/inventory/checkavailability/",
            async: false,
            dataType: 'json',
            cache:false,
            success: function (data) {
                //so something interesting
            }, error: function (error) {
                //display error?
            }
        });
