Need to do a browser "empty cache", is it possible?
Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2022 3:28 pm
I have been working converting a program to work as a Web app.
Working my way through the issues, I'm very close to having it done. But one problem that I can't seem to find a way around is putting new text in the tooltip of a field. The contents of the field, I can update. The associated image of the field I can update. But setting updated text in the tooltip requires an "empty cache" before it will actually replace the text.
I know that each browser has a way to do this(in Safari, option, command, E), but is there a way programmatically to force the cache to be flushed?
I don't really know anything about browsers, but I would assume that there is some API for each to do such a task. Am I wrong?
This program will have a very limit audience, a dozen at most. So, I can require a specific browser on both platforms if there is some sort of solution.
Thanks for any suggestion.
