Random string being added onto JS var

basically I am trying to load some PHP into a DIV using JS. Using this code:

$('#preview').load("includes/event_image_crop.php?img=" + fname);

However, its not just putting the fname string in there its adding a random string too like this &_=1369168657782

Any ideas?

Thanks

This is a feature designed to prevent caching. It should have no effect on the page (unless you need to use the _ GET variable), but if you need to disable it you should set cache: true using ajaxSetup:

$.ajaxSetup ({
    cache: true
});

Of course, as Ian mentions, this will affect every Ajax call on the page, so be aware of that if you have other Ajax calls. It might be better to refactor your code and use a more configurable function than .load().

See a similar (opposite) question here: Stop jQuery .load response from being cached
