Hi all,

I am using a coupe of custom YUI3 modules, which the YUI3 Loader appends as SCRIPT elements to the HEAD element.

Everything is working fine, and it is *great* having just one SCRIPT element on the page (the base YUI3 script), but something about this loading method sometimes causes both Firefox (3.0.13) and Chrome (2.0.172.39) to fail to un-cache these files when the cache is cleared or a force-refresh (Ctrl+F5, Ctrl+R) is used.

I can't seem to find any pattern to this issue whatsoever, only that I have seen the issue in these browsers on two separate XP SP3 machines running these browsers. Usually it can be fixed by clearing the cache manually then restarting the browser, but sometimes a full system restart is required, especially for Chrome. I tried to put together a test case, but I couldn't find any pattern whatsoever (and the test modules I used were only like 3 lines long) - it seems totally random.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or have suggestions on forcing FF3.0/Chrome 2 to un-cache the custom module files? Both Safari 3 and Safari 4 appear to be unaffected, which I thought was interesting since any time I have a problem with Webkit it is in both browsers.
