Hi,

I am working on ASP.NET 1.1 project.In project I am using JavaScript.When I am trying to add some new functionality in any JavaScript file,Its it not being recognized by browser(Tested on IE 6.0 and IE 7.0) on some systems.

However to overcome this problem I have renamed the JavaScript file name and it works,but doing it for large number of files used on production is a risky.

If anyone has any idea,I request you to share with us.

Many Thanks in advance.

It can be a caching issue. You can confirm this by hitting Ctrl+F5 on the browser and see if the changes are reflected or not. If Ctrl+F5 works, you need to check if you have enabled JavaScript caching for your application.
