jQuery clear cache on logout

rated 0 times [ 110] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 16358 / 13 Years ago, thu, july 14, 2011, 12:00:00

When users logout from my mobile app, how can I make sure the cache is cleared?

What I'm thinking about is to redirect /logout to a specific page that clears the cache and redirects to the front page, but how do I clear everything from the cache?

I'm using jQuery Mobile 1.0b2pre.

Here's how I solved it:

My /logout action where the users session is destroyed in the backend redirects to /exit which has an id attribute of exitPage.
In my JavaScript I have asked jQuery Mobile to trigger when that page is about to be created. I then empty the DOM and redirects to the front page.

/exit:

<div data-role=page id=exitPage></div>

/my.js:

jQuery('#exitPage').live('pagebeforecreate', function(){

    jQuery(document).empty();

    window.location.replace('/');

});
