Ajax and Caching...

    I'm using AJAX in a certain page.
    The function calls a php file that selects data from a certain table and writes the result into a div.
    My problem is that when I update the DB table and add items to it, the AJAX function doesn't display the new data. I have to clear my chache and then it displays everything properly. Is there a way to work around this problem?

xml.open('GET', 'file.php?r=' + Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000));
    Code (javascript):
