window.location.href works only after clearing browser cache on IE

问题

I have stuck with really weird issue.

Here is code sample

$.ajax({
    method: "POST",
    data: content,
    url: '/signin/',
    success: function (response) {
        window.location.href = 'test.html';
    }, 
    error: function (xhr, status, err) {
        errorHandler(xhr);
    }
});

First I thought redirection works only after opening debugger, and searched in that direction.
According to results and threads I commented all console.log statements. No luck.

Then found that only redirection is not working.
Then I tried
window.location.replace("test.html");,
window.location.assign("test.html");,
window.location.href = test.html,
window.open('test.html','_self', null , false);, setTimeout('window.navigate("test.html");', 1); still no luck..

Now I figured out when I open debugger and clear browser's cache and close the debugger again, then redirection works only once not after that.

To get redirection work I have to either clear the browser's cache everytime or have to keep debugger open.

How do I get redirection work without opening developer tool?

I Appreciate the help.

Thanks.

回答1:

for this maybe because your browser is caching the content... lets see if you are using chrome, and you open developer mode, you can see this:

and maybe something equivalent..

well, this is quite annoying as for javascript development because we have to open up the developer tools to make sure our script is not cached by browser. But since browser are intended primarily for consumer, not developer, we are the one who have to adjust ourselves to the browser, including either clear cache everytime, or let the developer window open.

hope this help

Edit: hope this help in case you use IE:

Actully redirection was not an issue.
There was another bizzare issue, IE was using cached response when developer tool is not open as explained in this answer.

So I just had add cache : false to my ajax request.
