caching using Javascript

I am using IE 7.0. I want to clear the cache for every new request. So i need java script code for clear the cache. In IE i am using one setting to fix the caching issues. This is location: Tools-Internet Options-Browsing History Settings-Every time i visit the web page-Ok. It works fine for the current IE browser. Now I need to implement this concept using Java script. Please suggest me.

Response.Buffer = False
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"

I tried, but not working.

You can't clear the cache using JavaScript. You can, however, trick the browser into thinking the page is different than what is stored in the cache by appending a number to the end of the URL.

So, for example, if you want to ensure that the browser is using your latest JS, append a number to the end of the source attribute (a different number will be needed each time you wish to "trick" the browser caching):

<script src="myScript.js?1" />

If you want to clear the cache for the entire page, you need to be asking a different question: How to control caching with [enter server-side language here]?

Note: Your new question, if needed, should be asked in a new question on SO.
