maybe the Javascript has errors? Post the Javascript so we can debug for you.
And, it's spelt "cache" not "cash."

If you are using an external script try adding a querry and a number to the uri to fool the browser into thinking it is a new page... (the same if the script is on the page)....

EG:
<script source="myJS.js?2" ....
Or, in the addressbar: http://myPage.html?2

And increment the number each time you make a change....

Edit: BTW, an additional benifit of using this method is that it allows you to quickly return/retrieve a previously cached change.... such as if you have made six changes and incremented the number for each change.... you can call up the previously cached second change by using it's index number behind the querry....

To clear Mac/IE's cache - close all open windows, then go to preferences and clear the cache, then quit and restart explorer. Then you should be good

We had a lot of problems with 5.2 on the mac. It never wanted to clear its cache.

I changed the javascript file name and mentioned that name while calling. It worked. but for every change i need to do this...Is there any alternative?..cache clearing in the prefernces and quiting the explorrer does not work

You do not need to change the file name...
The trick is while making changes to just add the querry and a number to the source call....
