I have the following in a .js file

$.ajax({ cache: false, url: "/marble/ping?randomString=" + new Date().getTime() });

Steps to replicate problem

Navigate to page where the js file is included
Navigate to a different page
Use back button to go back to the previous page and the javascript doesn't execute again

Is there a way I can work around this?

Can you post the code for the back button? – Tom O. Sep 13 '17 at 14:14
@TommyO I think he means the browser's back button... – Tyler Roper Sep 13 '17 at 14:15
as in the back button in the browser window – Ageis Sep 13 '17 at 14:15
I guess it's a client cache issue in the browser. The .js file is not being executed. Try adding a random string to the src of the script tag which includes the file. – HaukurHaf Sep 13 '17 at 14:15
Are you invoking the function on page reload? – pro Sep 13 '17 at 14:17
Ah gotcha, my bad. I thought you meant you had a ` – Tom O. Sep 13 '17 at 14:22
