Ah yes the IE cache problem. It's a known problem which can be avoided by adding a timestamp to the url. That makes IE believe it's calling another page every time.

If you are using jQuery and you have for example this javascript code

Code:

$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "index.php/ajax/method",
   data: "name=John&location=Boston",
   success: function(msg){
     alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
   }
});

You can change is to

Code:

var d = new Date();
$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "index.php/ajax/method/"+d.getTime(),
   data: "name=John&location=Boston",
   success: function(msg){
     alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
   }
});

About the session problem. If you access an url via ajax it has another session id so what you can do is store the session id in the database add it to javascript as a variable

Code:

var sessionid = <?php echo session_id(); ?>

Post it along with your other post data and compare it with the session id from the database. If you are using the CI session library you have to echo

Code:

$this->session->userdata('session_id');
