Hi Asfman Thanks for the reply - I did as you suggested- adding the option - in two separate ways - neither fixed the issue
(1) function getAjax_final(page_url,page_id) { $.ajaxSetup({cache: false}); $.ajax({ type: "GET", etc..... (2) $.ajax({ type: "GET", cache: false, url: page_url, - strange really since operation (2) - (mentioned above) works fine in IE - seems to have mind of its own - hmm cheers jsw_nz
