How do I Attach or update a timestamp querystring parameter

Question

I want to attach a timestamp to my querystring in order to ensure that the browser bypasses its cache when I refresh the page via javascript. I need to account for an exist

Answer 1

For manipulating the query string parameters I recommend you this plugin:

• query-object

It's very easy to use:

var timestamp = $.query.get('ts'); // get a value

window.location = $.query.set('ts', newValue); // set a value and navigate

Answer 2

var newLocation = window.location.href.replace(/\?.*(ts=\d*)/, "ts=" + new Date().valueOf());
