internet explorer mime type resubmit to window error

[dave]

I have an web-app that can produce a receipt by submiting
a html table into a new window and setting the mime type
to Excel. This functionality works fine.

If the user does not close this window and goes to create
a new receipt then the excel plugin within explorer simply
copies the data within the previous window into the new
window and ignores the new data.

Is there any solution to this problem?

First, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Second, it does sound like some kind of caching problem. Is there anyway you
can force the web application to refresh the cached data?

You may get a knowledgeable response in this newsgroup--there's lots of people
who know lots of different things. But if you don't, you may to saunter down
the road to one of the Internet Explorer newsgroups and see what those people
have to offer.
