Re: [archived] dub_if_ajax -- was this page loaded directly or via JS?

So it’s been a long time since this was first posted but I have a question. This plugin works great with MooTools AJAX but I’ve run into a problem if an article is accessible from two points, one via AJAX and the other through a normal page request. It seems the HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH header gets cached somewhere so if the page was first requested via AJAX, then later requested through a non-AJAX link, the page is rendered as if it was requested with AJAX instead of a normal page load. If the user visits the non-AJAX version first followed by the AJAX version the AJAX request loads the non-AJAX page.

Hopefully that all makes sense. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to prevent the header from caching?

Fixed the issue by appending a cache buster to the end of the ajax call.

Hi,

The demo is not working in Firefox 2.X on XP… Or is it just me? Looks like Firebug is complaining about something.

Otherwise, this looks like a useful plug. :)
