Prevent jQuery.getScript adding ?_=timestamp

How to prevent jQuery.getScript from adding ?_=timestamp on URLs?

error log

Source code:

$.getScript('/js/ace/ace.js',function(res) {
 // do something
});

Answer*

This seems to be related to `$.getScript('/js/ace/ace.js',function...)` calls.

You can consider adding the following snippet as high up as possible:

 $.ajaxSetup({
 cache: true
 }); 

Putting the cache: `true` in your `$.ajax()` doesn't affect `$.getScript('/js/ace/ace.js',function...)` 
in any way and that's what visible in that screenshot.

Another way, as described at [jQueryByExample][1]:

 **(1)** before making call to `$.getScript` method, you can set the cache true for ajax request and set it to false once script is loaded.

 //Code Starts
 //Set Cache to true.
 $.ajaxSetup({ cache: true });
 $.getScript(urlhere, function(){
 //call the function here....
 //Set cache to false.
 $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
 });
 //Code Ends

**(2)** All you need to do is to add a `boolean` parameter, which will set the cache attribute to true or false. That's the beauty of `jQuery` that you can redefine things the way you need.

 //Code Starts
 $.getScript = function(url, callback, cache){
 $.ajax({
 type: "GET",
 url: url,
 success: callback,
 dataType: "script",
 cache: cache
 });
 };
So,now you call the `$.getScript` like, (notice the 3rd argument)

 //Code Starts
 $.getScript('js/jsPlugin.js',function(){
 Demo(); //This function is placed in jsPlugin.js
 }, true);
 //Code Ends

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
