What does 'x' mean as the last letter in `src` attribute
MyTitle’s Question:
In some projects I noticed that javascripts included into HTML like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js/score.js?x"></script>
What’s mean last ‘x’ symbol?
It is not a symbol. It is a piece of query string like on web scripts it would be something like test.php?reload=true
Such techniques might be helpful to overcome the caching problem as mentioned by SLaks on the comments.
