This works in all browsers except IE. I have no idea why. Its just an ajax clock that ticks through the seconds.

    I know you’ve already solved this with a POST, but there is another way as well, use the cache option for $.ajax(). By setting it to false, jquery will append a timestamp to the URL as a parameter, forcing a new request even in IE, you use it like this:

    $.ajax({
  cache: false,
  //current options you already have...
});
