Subject: Browser Cache is Not Refreshing (Even w/ Ctrl + F5)

*My Problem*
in summary: My browser cache is not getting completely cleaned out in FF or
Chrome, even when pressing Ctrl + F5.
A look at the Network Panel, and sometimes old files hang around, while
most times JavaScript code just does not take any changes.

*My Hypothesis*
Modernizr is the culprit. Perhaps the way in which Modernizr and YepNope
are conditionally/dynamically loading some javascript files?

Today’s date is Friday June 29th, Approx. 7pm - 8pm, CST, Huntsville,
Alabama.
*
Firefox 13.0.1*
1. Reading through *HTML5 Games: Creating Fun with HTML5, CSS3, and WebGL*by Jacob Seidelin.
2. I begin reading at the end of Chapter 8, and the start of Chapter 9.
3. I upload Chapter 8 to the server. (via the FTP client *WinSCP V. 4.3.8*)
4. Open *Firefox 13.0.1*
5. Load *html5.jonathandevelop.com*
6. Press *Ctrl + F5* to clear cache.
7. Press F12 to open *Firebug > Net Panel*.
8. All files have HTTP requests *Status 200 OK*
- Edit local file *display.canvas.js*
- Upload via FTP; Timestamp indicates current time, upload was successful.
- Firebug > Net Panel response:
*200 OK

Firefox/13.0.1*
9. Look at Javascript source code for changes. *Changes are not there.*

10. Repeat Steps 1 – 3.
File: *display.canvas.js*
*Last-Modified: Mon, 18 June 2012 19:46:04 GMT*
*Still no changes in javascript source code.*

Keep in mind, I am pressing Ctrl + F5 to refresh the browser window.

*Google Chrome 20.0.1132.47 m*
1. Follow exact same steps as above with Google Chrome.
2. Open html5.jonathandevelop.com
3. Press F12 to open debug panel > Network Tab
4. Press Ctrl + F5 to clear cache and refresh page.

According to the *Size (Content)* Column of the Chrome Debug Panel, some
resources are being loaded (from Cache) while others, which indicate the
file’s size (985KB, 1.08KB, etc.), are new.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ctrl+F5 doesn't clear the cache, I guess that it could be described as
"reload the page without cache", but after the main scripts are loaded, I
guess that anything additional might not be aware of that loading state and
uses the normal cache, so for example a XHR request or maybe even a
<script> element created on the fly will behave as usual.

The best way to clear the cache is to use Ctrl+Shift+Supr and then check
there the "cache" option leaving the rest cleared.
That has always worked fine for me.

And of course, this behavior isn't related to Firebug.

I also never heard of Supr, but I assume he means the Super key<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_key_%28keyboard_button%29>
.

Anyway, just disable the browser cache before reloading via the *Disable
Browser Cache* option inside the *Net* panel's options menu<http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Net_Panel#Options_Menu>
.
Also see the other thread about browser caching<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21searchin/firebug/cache/firebug/fQ...>for more clarification about that behavior.

Sebastian

Sorry, I forgot that it isn't called that way in English, in those
keyboards it's "DEL" IIRC, (Backspace over the Enter key and Del in the
group over the arrow keys)

Anyway, press Alt if you have the menu bar hidden and then it's under
Tools->Clear recent history...
