Rss ajax ticker, issues in IE

[J_Zanetti]

Hello everybody!

Ive created a ticker that reads my RSS files by loading the xml in an
Ajax function.
To refresh the content, Ive used a settimeout that reloads the xml,
through ajax calls, and refresh the portion of the page with the rss
content.
It works fine in Firefox , where the content is always updated, while
i have problems in IE since it seems that the RSS is cached at the
first page opening and so all the automatical refreshes just dont
work(the xml received is always the old one).

How can I workaround this issue in IE?
thanks so much!

Thank you !
that was very useful! I solved by adding a random get-parameter in the
url of the file

Thanks!
