title: jQuery: assistance with updating div content onchange
body: <p>I have a div the contents of which constantly changes based on a server side process.  Currently I use jQuery load to poll the server every 3 seconds to get any updates.  </p>
  
  <p>This is what I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function poll() {
      reloadPage();
      setTimeout("poll();", 3000); 
  }
  
  function reloadPage() { 
        $("#mydiv").load(location.href + " #mydiv&gt;*", "");
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works well in firefox but in IE, the load doesn't update the div, probably due to a caching issue.  Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do other than polling periodically?  </p>
