Stop jQuery .load response from being cached

Here is an example of how to control caching on a per-request basis

$.ajax({
    url: "/YourController",
    cache: false,
    dataType: "html",
    success: function(data) {
        $("#content").html(data);
    }
});

One way is to add a unique number to the end of the url:

$('#inquiry').load('/portal/?f=searchBilling&pid=' + $('#query').val()+'&uid='+uniqueId());

Where you write uniqueId() to return something different each time it's called.

You have to use a more complex function like $.ajax() if you want to control caching on a per-request basis. Or, if you just want to turn it off for everything, put this at the top of your script:

$.ajaxSetup ({
    // Disable caching of AJAX responses
    cache: false
});
