fnReloadAjax() and IE

kellyjandrews

Trying to utilize the plug in fnReloadAjax. It works flawlessly in Firefox (of course). The data does not seem to be reloading in IE.

After some searching I tried the random number at the end of the url I am passing in the function, but it gives me the same result.

Basically I am passing a call to a processor page - the data gets added - but the table doesn't refresh.
If I reload the page - the data is there as expected. It is not however showing asynchronously.

Any thoughts? I can't give a link publicly on this one, and the code is too convoluted to be helpful.

Hi kellyjandrews,

A couple of options

1. You've tried this one - adding a random GET variable to the URL
2. Use a POST request rather than a GET (just a small modification to the plug-in needed).
3. Check that the JSON return is valid using www.jsonlint.com

Hopefully one of these will do the trick,
Allan

[code]
fnReloadAjax("http://myurl.com?qs=something&;dummy=" + new Date().getTime()+"
[/code]

I suspected it was the cache - it just causes headaches - yes?

Oh yeah, it causes headaches! I remember even the Wikipedia article about XHR mentioned this (although it appears to have been removed now). It's a common issue with IE - either use POST or a random variable to get around it...
