I want to reload a page using JavaScript but I want to clear cache too, so on page refresh the page has latest versions of everything from server.
Other browsers except IE are not getting latest content.

Any solution for IE9?

reload() is supposed to accept an argument which tells it to do a hard reload, ie, ignoring the cache:

location.reload(true);

I can't vouch for its reliability, you may want to investigate this further.
