Javascript not updating while debugging

I am using VS 2008 to write Javascript code (mostly in JQuery). However, the js file was not updated when I finished editing and hit F5 to invoke the debugger. I need to close vs2008 and reopen it to see the latest changes in the js file.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Do CTRL-F5 in the browser to force refresh all the files the page uses.

Clear your browser cache. It usually has a locally cached copy.

js is heavily cached. Use a timestamp and add it to the url:

script.js? _s = 12345678

this will force the update

If you can use Firefox instead, install the Web Developer Toolbar plugin and you can turn off caching for certain sites, i.e. the site you are developing on.
