Why PeriodicalUpdater doesn't work on Internet Explorer?

[www.webpolis.com.ar]

I have the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
var updater = new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('chatbox', 'chat.php',
{method: 'get', asynchronous: true, frequency: 0.55, decay: 2,
onSuccess: function(){$('chatbox').scrollTop=$
('chatbox').scrollHeight}});
})

</script>

It's for a chat program i'm making, but, the Periodical Refresh
doesn't work on Internet Explorer. If i send a message from Internet
Explorer, i won't see the message displayed but Firefox does see the
message. Anyway, here is the url:

Please help me, i think that IE only refresh the DIV ('chatbox') one
time and no more.

Thanks
Nico

If you wanted to keep your GET then try adding this to your code ...

Ajax.Responders.register ( {
onCreate: function(o_Requester) {
// Timestamp each AJAX action.
var o_Date = new Date();
o_Requester.url =
o_Requester.url +
(o_Requester.url.indexOf('?') == -1 ? '?' : '&') +
'Stamp=' + o_Date.getTime();
}
} );
