Spinneret: problem with HttpServer and Windows IE

,Went thru turtoral and everything works ok on Linux with FireFox and my G-Tablet, but I have tried 3 laptops running IE6, IE7, & IE8 and get the following results:

invoke INDEX.htm - display looks ok and can go back and forth to LED.htm

invoke LED.htm - display looks ok but: clicking on "Led on:" or "Led off:" does nothing. led state does not change on the spinneret and the word "state" on screen does not change.

invoke TIME.htm - physical display (fonts, colors) looks ok but clicking on "GetTime" does not display the time.

also, I get a Windows IE info pop up "Script../../../../sscommon/common/inc/ss_util.js failed to load"

again, this problem is only with Windows IE. Index.htm, Led.htm & Time.htm are "right out of the box", no changes made to them.

any ideas???

    I assume you have a Spinneret? Make sure the globalchache variable is set to 1.

    There is no ss_util.js file in the tutorial.

    Post your source code.

    Have had the Spinneret for a few weeks, other spin code sources work ok on all pc platforms. I just loaded a fresh copy of HTTPServer from the HS_beg directory, changed the required IP stuff and set globalchache to 1.

    Same response as before. while watching the Parallax serial terminal, I see no "Gets" for any requests from a Windows IE8 laptop.

    I do see "Gets" for requests from a Linux laptop and from my Android G-Tablet.

    Setting the Globalcache to 1 did stop the "error"

    Sorry, my brain is not working well - been under the weather for a few days. Set globalcache to 0, false.

    If you are not seeing GETs then IE is serving up the cached page. IE has a very aggressive when it comes to caching.

    Click the refresh button or ctrl-F5 the next time you open the page(s) that is having the problem. Ctrl-F5 will force a page load from the server with the new "Don't cache me" header. This is after setting the globalcahce to 0 and loading the HTTPServer code.

    I tested HTTPServer with IE 8 and it works fine.
