CakePHP - javascript files do not update when loading

I am building something using CakePHP 2.5.5. I have a layout where I load multiple javascript files. That works fine. But when I edit 1 of those files and reload the page, nothing changes.

Apparently the javascript files still stay with the old version and dont update to the new version I just edited.

I tried clearing my tmp->cache folder in the App folder. Yet that doesnt fix it.

Anyone an idea why this happens? I am sure it has something to do with caching or something simulair.

This has nothing to do with CakePHP and everything to do with your browser's cache. Clear cache and try again, or try a different browser...etc.

Sometimes I use Ctrl+F5 in Chrome, which supposedly "Reloads your current page, ignoring cached content", but that seems to work 10% of the time for me.
