1. When i have a webpage open and i change a source javascript file, then
refresh the site and attach to IExplorer process, sometimes the old js code
is running that i hook into (i set a breakpoint in the source file and then
it puts a breakpoint in the running file and i see the code is the old
code).

2. i tried to clear out the temporary asp.net directory but got file acces
permissions.

how do i do 1 & 2?

thanks
 
You need to restart your application, and you need to close the browser and
open a new browser window.
This always works for me.
 
Hi TS,

You can also try configure the IE browser to always refresh for new version
when visit a page or resource item via the following steps:

1. in IE, choose "tools-->internet options" menu item

2. in the dialog, choose "General" tab

3. in the tab, under " Browsing history" section, click the "Settings"
button

4. in the popup setting dialog, select "Every time I visit the webpage" for
the "Check for newer versions of stored pages" option.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

The Javascript file is cached in the browser, not in the temporary
ASP.NET directory. Clear the internet cache and reload the page.
 
that worked. Here i was resetiis and clear temp folders and still couldnt'
get it.

Clearing the temp folder also works. You just have to clear the correct
one. ;)
