javascript not running when logging in with different username

Question

so i have a website made in ASP.NET that uses JS to generate some DOM elements after getting settings from the users account.

problem is that after i sign out and log in with a different user name i get the generated elements from the previous user and i don't know why. the code that generates the elements is as follows:

$.ajax({
    url: '@Url.Content("~")' + 'Ticket/GetTvrtke',
    async: false,
    success: function (data) {
        document.getElementById("header_tvrtka_holder").innerHTML = data;
    }
});

and a little afterward its is used as such: var tvrtke = document.getElementById("header_tvrtka_holder").innerHTML.split(", ");

$.each(tvrtke, function (index, value) {
    $("#KlijentMultiSelect").append("<option value=\"" + value + "\" id=\"" + index + "\" >" + value + "</option>");
});

now when i log off and sign in as a different user the ajax code above doesn't trigger the getTvrtke URL that gets the settings wich generate the elements and i don't know why.

Can you try setting cache to false with $.ajaxSetup({cache: false})? I doubt this should impact in case of different user profiles. — Ravi Y

Ajax by default caches the response of the calls. YOu can set it to false so that there is a fresh request every single time by using the below at the top of your application.

$.ajaxSetup({cache: false});
