Internet Explorer Not Reloading XML Data

Hello,

I created a scroller that reads from an RSS page using the XML object and XML Load method. Every minute I call the XML Load method to reload the data. This works well when under Firefox and Opera, but it is not reloading on Internet Explorer. Any ideas?

I am using IE Version 6 SP2. Is this related to Internet Explorer security? Is there a work around?


-- Thanks in Advance

Put a random var at the end of the xml file:

id = ((Math.random()*15)+"ie43");//just to keep the xml fresh
myXml.load("XMLdata.xml?id="+id)
