Here's something I don't like about AJAX. Maybe, someone has a solution.

When I'm testing out code, if I change the POST/GET page (not the calling page), I have to close and reopen Internet Explorer to see the changes. Hitting refresh does not work.

I have this same problem when trying to debug the js code in Firefox. You can never refresh the page, but always have to go to Tools > Options > Privacy and press the Clear All button to clear the cache. It's the only way to get the new js code changes to run in the Firefox browser. I've never had a problem with IE seeing my immediate code changes. Not sure why, but I've never had to deal with it.

Thats probobly because firefox browsers know better than to misbehave while being used by clflava.

Um... it's a simple case of cache-busting (probably). Add a unique extra to the end of your params (so the request is unique). I use this kind of solution for the ajax apps I work with:
Code: 
var cacheBuster = "&cb=" + new Date().getTime();
Then append the contents of the cacheBuster variable to the end of your URL (if you do not already have GET parameters being passed through, then you will need to use a "?" instead of a "&" character).

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers,
Jeff

Agree with BabyJeffy, although I simply add a "?1" or "&1" to the URLs. I also do this every time when loading oft-changing CSS (or JS) files in <HEAD>. Defeats the cache curse when developing.
