Hello,
in the last few days I have had trouble working with the Internet Explorer 8
and my custom RSS feed. I have written a PHP script which does the following:
1) Create a RSS feed with the desired items through a XML file and another
script
2) Upload the XML to a server
Then I subscribe to the feed using the IE 8 by clicking a link on my
website. So far so good it gets added as it should be and all items that I
have added to the channel up to this point are displayed.
The problem starts when I remove an old item from the channel ( = remove
everything what is encased in the "<item>" tag in the XML file ).
When I delete the item the XML gets modified and re-uploaded onto the server
but not containing the removed item part.
However when I update my feed in the IE 8 the old item still gets displayed
although it is no longer contained/listed in the XML file.
I tried following solutions up to this point:
- restart the browser
- restart my OS
- clearing the browser's cache
- delete the RSS feed in my IE and re-add it ( this does solve the problem
but I can't tell my subscribers to manually delete their IE 8 feed everytime
I remove an item from the XML )
I have no more ideas what I could do to solve this issue.
Any advice would be most apreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Erinyes
