<script>
   function text() {

I'm not sure I've understood properly, but as far as I can tell this has nothing to do with caching: it is a matter of understanding when templates are rendered vs when scripts are executed.

This script is contained in a template. That template is rendered on the server side. Therefore, the script will be generated - and sent to the browser - with the values of content as they were at that point.

If you have an Ajax function which later updates something in the HTML page, this script will not care at all, because you have done nothing to update it - again, the values in the script were hard-coded when the template was sent to the browser.

You probably don't want to do it this way at all. Instead, you should find or define a parent element that contains all the checkboxes - a div or table row, for example - and then dynamically iterate through all descendants of that element to find the value of any checkboxes. You can then call this script from your Ajax function to update the values when the content changes.
