One of my javascript sources had an extra comma that was throwing an error in IE8. So I opened up my editor, deleted the comma, and saved. I reloaded IE8, but it was still pulling the old js file. I deleted everything in "Delete Browsing History...", and restarted the browser. It is still pulling the old file. I even set up a log on my server to show whenever the js file was requested. When reloading with IE, the js file is never requested.
I tried doing the same process in Chrome and FF, and it pulled the new file and logged properly on the server.
Is there some other cache that I am failing to clear in IE that would cause this problem?
Internet Explorer 8 (Win) - Clearing Cache and CookiesSelect Tools > Internet Options. Click on the General tab and then the Delete... button. Make sure to uncheck Preserve Favorites website data and check both Temporary Internet Files and Cookies then click Delete.
Here's how... When you're in Google Chrome, click on View, then select Developer, then Developer Tools. Alternatively, you can right click on a page in Chrome, then click Inspect. Click on the Network tab, then check the box to Disable cache.
Viewing the Cache The cache of the Internet Explorer browser can be viewed by clicking on Tools | Internet Options, selecting the General tab, pressing the Settings button in the Temporary Internet Files section, and clicking on the View Files button.
Try CTRL + F5
.
And you can use CTRL + SHIFT + DEL
to bring up the dialog where you can clear the cache explicitly.
Just so you know, Browsing History has nothing to do with the cache.
