Stop jQuery .load response from being cached

Question

I have the following code making a GET request on a URL:

$(\'#searchButton\').click(function() {
    $(\'#inquiry\').load(\'/portal/?f=searchBilling&pid=         


        

Answer 1

/**
 * Use this function as jQuery "load" to disable request caching in IE
 * Example: $('selector').loadWithoutCache('url', function(){ //success function callback... });
 **/
$.fn.loadWithoutCache = function (){
 var elem = $(this);
 var func = arguments[1];
 $.ajax({
     url: arguments[0],
     cache: false,
     dataType: "html",
     success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
   elem.html(data);
   if(func != undefined){
    func(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest);
   }
     }
 });
 return elem;
}

Answer 2

Here is an example of how to control caching on a per-request basis

$.ajax({
    url: "/YourController",
    cache: false,
    dataType: "html",
    success: function(data) {
        $("#content").html(data);
    }
});

Answer 3

Try this:

$("#Search_Result").load("AJAX-Search.aspx?q=" + $("#q").val() + "&rnd=" + String((new Date()).getTime()).replace(/\D/gi, ''));

It works fine when i used it.

Answer 4

One way is to add a unique number to the end of the url:

$('#inquiry').load('/portal/?f=searchBilling&pid=' + $('#query').val()+'&uid='+uniqueId());

Where you write uniqueId() to return something different each time it's called.

Answer 5

This code may help you

var sr = $("#Search Result");
sr.load("AJAX-Search.aspx?q=" + $("#q")
.val() + "&rnd=" + String((new Date).getTime())
.replace(/\D/gi, ""));

You can replace the jquery load function with a version that has cache set to false.

(function($) {
  var _load = jQuery.fn.load;
  $.fn.load = function(url, params, callback) {
  if ( typeof url !== "string" && _load ) {
        return _load.apply( this, arguments );
  }
    var selector, type, response,
      self = this,
      off = url.indexOf(" ");

    if (off > -1) {
      selector = stripAndCollapse(url.slice(off));
      url = url.slice(0, off);
    }

    // If it's a function
    if (jQuery.isFunction(params)) {

      // We assume that it's the callback
      callback = params;
      params = undefined;

      // Otherwise, build a param string
    } else if (params && typeof params === "object") {
      type = "POST";
    }

    // If we have elements to modify, make the request
    if (self.length > 0) {
      jQuery.ajax({
        url: url,

        // If "type" variable is undefined, then "GET" method will be used.
        // Make value of this field explicit since
        // user can override it through ajaxSetup method
        type: type || "GET",
        dataType: "html",
        cache: false,
        data: params
      }).done(function(responseText) {

        // Save response for use in complete callback
        response = arguments;

        self.html(selector ?

          // If a selector was specified, locate the right elements in a dummy div
          // Exclude scripts to avoid IE 'Permission Denied' errors
          jQuery("<div>").append(jQuery.parseHTML(responseText)).find(selector) :

          // Otherwise use the full result
          responseText);

        // If the request succeeds, this function gets "data", "status", "jqXHR"
        // but they are ignored because response was set above.
        // If it fails, this function gets "jqXHR", "status", "error"
      }).always(callback && function(jqXHR, status) {
        self.each(function() {
          callback.apply(this, response || [jqXHR.responseText, status, jqXHR]);
        });
      });
    }

    return this;
  }
})(jQuery);

Place this somewhere global where it will run after jquery loads and you should be all set. Your existing load code will no longer be cached.
