charts not refreshing each time use F12

[brolland]

I am just getting started with charting in ColdFusion. I create my chart in
Dreamweaver (using hard-coded data, as practice), then hit F12 to preview in
browser. No problem, it displays fine.

I go back to Dreamweaver and make a small change in the file, say changing the
label on one line of the chart. I hit F12 and the change doesn't show up.
Something, somewhere is being cached, and I can't figure out where or how to
fix it. We've changed the setting for "Maximum number of images in cache" to 0
and it doesn't make a difference. I tried using the CFCACHE (I think that's
what it was called) tag, but that didn't work, either. If I do a "save as" and
save it under a new name, it will display the new data when I preview.

I'm really trying to learn this charting function, but when I make changes and
nothing shows up, it's hard to figure out if the problem is my code or what?!

Thanks!

Try refreshing your browser. (F5 if using IE, don't know what it is for
firefox)
If that does not work, there will probably be a swf somewhere in your
temporary internet files directory. I had a similar problem embedding swf
files with <embed>

Thanks, Dan. I can hit F5 til the cows come home, but it won't refresh. I've
also tried deleting all of my internet temp files, but that doesn't help,
either.

Isn't there a way to turn off the caching of charts altogether?

This is a cfchart right?

If so, then the CF server can be caching your template too.

In CF administrator turn off caching.

You may also need to clear the cache files -- especially with CF6.

See the post at this post for instructions on cache clearing.
