Is it possibile to clear cache on sigle page using javasscript? I know that document.location.reload() will do that. But can it be done without refreshing page?

  • Why do you think that you can control the cache? – Ed Heal Aug 16 '15 at 11:56
  • More importantly, why do you want to do it? There's possibly a better way to solve whatever problem you have. – user247702 Aug 16 '15 at 12:00

You can do is to tell it not to cache your page, by sending the appropriate headers or using these meta tags on your HTML :

<meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache'> //clear cache
<meta http-equiv='expires' content='0'>//clear cache with some expire time
<meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'> // no Cache

I can't think of a way to clear cache using Javascript. Probably you should try to append a version number to force the browser to load the new one. For example, change this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="myscript.js"></script>

to this

<script type="text/javascript" src="myscript.js?version=1"></script>
