What is considered the norm when changing javascript/jquery code on a live site? Obviously the changes wont be noticable to previous visitors until they clear their cache. Iv had big problems in the past where entire pages have crashed becuase Im inserting markup in the code behind, but the javascript is still using the old code.

Ah yes - never thought of that. Suppose thats why the jquery core files have the version number at the end. I do have some javasript at the top of the actual page but looks like I need to strip this out and keep it separate. Thanks for the solution.
