MSXML and recent patches

[Scott]

The PCs at the place I work have recently been patched with MSXML related
items from the Microsoft Auto Update. We have some web apps that use MSXML
3.0
They are now experiencing abnormal behavior.....It seems that the first use
of the web app is OK, say when a search is performed and records are brought
back in a DIV text area....but if the area is cleared and another search is
performed, the results never come back.
Any suggestions on what this patch could have done?

forum thread claims that the IE caching behaviour has changed. I have
not checked that myself however, you will need to try yourself whether
your problem has the same cause.

Changing this setting does "fix" the problem. However, I don't beleive that
is very user friendly or intutitve for users. XML should work no mater which
of the 4 radio buttons are selected, IMO.

You might want to contact MS support about the problem. Or you need to
wait whether someone of MS responds here in the thread.

If you are using the load method of an MSXML DOMDocument with
client-side script then doing e.g.
xmlDocument.load('file.xml?date=' + new Date().getTime())
might force a new request even if the setting does not have the "right"
value.

Thanks for the replies. I will see if a MS person responds.

No MS person can assist on why this is happening. It is in regards to
windows update 936021. If I un-install this patch, then the XML works
without needing to change the browser settings.
