Hello, anyone encountered any issue on browser cached JavaScript web resource? The latest JavaScript will not reflect immediately even you cleared the browser cache/history and refresh the page. What I noticed is I need to perform at least 5 or more browser refresh before the JavaScript starts working. I understand that the browser cache clearing and refreshing the page is a BASIC thing for the web app but doing this more than once in CRM 2011 is pretty annoying. As of now I don’t have a big .js file everything are less than 100KB or less. My environments are CRM 2011On-premise UR13 and CRM 365. Both environments encountered the same issue. Any idea how this happened and how to resolve it?

Try changing the JavaScript file's src From this:

<script language="JavaScript" src="js/myscript.js"></script>

To this:

<script language="JavaScript" src="js/myscript.js?n=1"></script>

This method should force your browser to load a new copy of the JS file.

Thanks for your answer, however your suggested approach is already build-in in Microsoft Dynamics CRM WebResource.

Any idea how this happened and how to resolve it in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 On-premise and CRM 365, especially if your suggestion is already build-in features for the webresource.

Additional Info:

All the codes written are tested and passed the unit testing. And also I noticed even the simple wrapper function to get the field value of attribute in common.js throws an error. We're using the CTRL + SHIFT + DEL to clear the cache and CTRL + F5 to refresh the page. And the browser is IE.

Mark,

I assume none of the below items helped you, as none of them are possible with the situation you are facing.

I'm also having the same issue (in IE), and would love you know if you ever found a resolution (as this issue is a year old).

Thanks!

I am also experiencing that both IE and Firefox do not clear the cached JavaScript in CRM Online, sometimes even after manually clearing the cache, F12 continues to show my old code. Amazing trick but this 'feature' makes debugging quite cumbersome. Perhaps if we keep this thread active, someone will come up with the solution.

I had the same issue with my IE 9, and want to ensure that the cache and all temporary files are deleted completely and get the most updated version the next time I load in the web site.

I blogged about in the following link

www.crmbuzz.co/ieclearcache

please let me know if this help with the issues on sticking javascript scripts and the cache.

Using the "clear Cache" functionality within the F12 Debugger solves the Problem.

F12, Strg + R, F12

Refresh your Page with Strg + F5 afterwards, and you will get the latest JScript code.

Hope this helps!
