sounds like the ajax caching bug, where the browser will use the cache to
grab data from if the url doesn't change.
in my experience FF doesn't usually have this problem
is used this function
function cBuster(){
var cBuster=parseInt(Math.random()*99999999); // cache buster
return cBuster;
}
and in the ajax.updater i added
var params = 'action=getsomething&id=' +
document.Frm.user_list[document.Frm.user_list.selectedIndex].value +
'&cb='+cb;
basically it appends a random 8 digit number to the URL so that the browser
always thinks its a new visit. Another way you could do it is via the
headers of the returned page pragma:no-cache and there are a couple of other
ways but the above seemed to be the simplest.
