Upload New HTML5 Game, But New Version Not Shown Until Browser Cache Cleared?

[JeZxLee]

Hi,

When we upload a new version of our HTML5 game the new version is not shown until Internet browser cache is cleared?
Does anyone know how to force the HTML5 game to disable caching?
Perhaps a change to the index.html file?

Let us know, thanks!

Game is below:

(game uses the AppGameKit Classic engine)

I have written some advice about this on the last page of my JavaScript course, here: https://www.grelf.net/jscourse/publish.html

See the 4th item on the page.

what I do is, and it's a very hacky solution, is I upload to a different folder every time ( MyGame12, MyGame123, MyGame12A, etc)

then after testing I just delete all the folders lol

i think the approach is to append a md5 hash/checksum to a resource name. if the original resource is someimage.jpg, the final resource will be someimage.computedhash.jpg. some engines will do this automatically (Cocos Creator, for example).
