Microsoft Internet Explorer Cache issues

Oh hotness. Within seconds i learn that IE thinks that GET requests are supposed to all be cached (for whatever asinine reason), and a simple fix is to change your request to the POST method. Giddy as a school girl, i rush into my code and update literally 2 lines, and viola! All better.

I construct a timestamp string with the seconds and milliseconds.

I used this and it works 

function zlapSend(req) {
 //IE Cache work around
 var d = new Date();

 

var time = d.getTime();

 

if(req.indexOf(’?’)>=0) {
 ser.open(’get’, req+’&’+time+’=’+time);
 } else {

 

ser.open(’get’, req+’?’+time+’=’+time);
 }
 ser.onreadystatechange = zlapResponse;
 ser.send(null);
 }

An alternative approach could be to set the response headers correctly. The HTTP headers that need to be set are as follows:

 Expires: Sun, 19 Nov 1978 05:00:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache 

/* float clearing for IE6 */
* html .clearfix{
  height: 1%;
  overflow: visible;
}

/* float clearing for IE7 */
*+html .clearfix{
  min-height: 1%;
}

/* float clearing for everyone else */
.clearfix:after{
  clear: both;
  content: ".";
  display: block;
  height: 0;
  visibility: hidden;
}
