Question : Ajax autorefresh  not working with Internet Explorer 6

Hi all,

The code below refreshes mypage.php every 9 seconds without blinking or anything you can notice when seeing the page.
This is working for all browsers except for Internet Explorer 6.

Any ajax genius can modify the script so it can work also for Internet Explorer 6? or even make a new script for Internet Explorer 6 ( I'll detect the browser and I'll show one or the other)..

Thanks a ton in advance!

Answer : Ajax autorefresh  not working with Internet Explorer 6

One more remark. Note above: IE uses cached image. If your image is all the time the same, then simply try not to use AJAX for it. If your image is created during mypage.php, then you will have a problem with cache, the trick

"?x="+new Date().getTime()

will not work for images. In this case you must change name of your image in every consecutive GET. For example in mypage.php:

$imageName='myPrefix' . $_GET['x'] . '.png'; // unique name
deleteFilesFromIMGDirectory()     ;               // otherwise it will grow and grow...
createImage($imageName);
....
echo "";
