调试网页时未反映Javascript的变化

Question

I am working on a web page development using netbeans IDE and use Firefox for debugging/testing. Whenever i do changes to Javascript, these changes are not getting reflected on the web page,the source code reveals the obsolete code.

Everytime i make changes, i ensure to restart my nginx server before opening browser, PHP seems to work fine this way, but Javascript is not in sync with my changes to the code.

Pls provide me a solution to encounter this problem.

The problem is that your browser is caching your files, you can clean browser caching or set the browser to stop caching files.

Another way to avoid browser caching is append something (timestamp or id) with a '?' at the end of your HTML file reference.

<script src='script.js?0001'><script>

Any time you want the browser request your file again, just change this value.
