How to disable cache in InternetExplorer 8

Question

How can I disable cache in IE8 ? We are doing Javascript development and testing it in IE8, but we have to clear the cache every time we make changes to the Javascript files

Answer 1

If that fails, a random parameter on the query string will do it:

index.html?a=346456

Answer 2

Open the IE debugging tools (F12), Cache on the menu, and select always refresh from server. This does mean you need to keep the debugging tools open.

Answer 3

Ctrl+Shift+Del will open the Clear Private Data dialog (or select it from the Safety menu). Uncheck everything but the first two items to clear only the cache.

You shouldn't have to clear the cache though. If you access your js files through a web server (such as IIS running locally), the normal cache control mechanisms should do the trick. If they don't, a Ctrl+F5 usually fixes the problem.
