You mentioned one of the solutions - to append something like '?
param=' + new Date();
The other thing you can do is use POST, since IE won't cache POST
request. I've tried telling it with headers, that it should not cache
it, but it still does, so POST is the solution.

One trick I found was to simply do:
$.get (myUrl + '?uid=' + math.random(), myAjaxCallBack)

If you can control the server-side pages that are supplying your ajax
requests, you can also add response headers to the http response telling the
browser to not to cache it.

You're correct. IE is caching GETs. The work around is to make a
unique GET (e.g., all the date/time bogus parameters) or to use POST
instead.

It would be nice if the .load function of jQuery did a POST request
instead of a GET request or if we could specific that it should be a
POST request.

What if you don't care if its cached, or would actually like it to be cached?
GET is GET, and POST is POST.... I think it would be nice if firefox & safari cached my GETs
POST is so much better for passing parameters... they don't get logged in the apache logs and you don't have length limits.
(my 3 cents)

It's not documented (as far as I can tell) but if you send a params object to .load() it should be sent via the POST method. I'm looking at the unpacked source of jQuery 1.1.1... load: starts on line 1842 and the GET/POST condition starts on line 1849.

wow! it does!
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">    load: function( url, params, callback, ifModified ) {
        if ( jQuery.isFunction( url ) )
            return this.bind("load", url);
        callback = callback || function(){};
        // Default to a GET request
        var type = "GET";
        // If the second parameter was provided
        if ( params )
            // If it's a function

                callback = params;
                params = null;
            // Otherwise, build a param string
            } else {
                params = jQuery.param( params );
                type = "<span style="font-weight: bold;">POST</span>";
            }
        var self = this;
        // Request the remote document
        jQuery.ajax({
            url: url,
            type: type,
            data: params,

                    // Inject the HTML into all the matched elements
                    self.attr("innerHTML", res.responseText)
