[jQuery] ajax/IE6 problem viewing data on page


Hi All,
I'm new to this so please be patient.
I'm using the following Jquery script:
var counter = 0;
function loaded(){
$.ajax({
url : "status_",
error : function (data) {
counter++;
if(counter == 3) {
$("#Status").html("server disconnected");
counter = 0;
}
},
success : function (data) {
$("#Status").html("server connected");
$("#placeHolder").html(data);
}
});
self.setTimeout('loaded()', 10000);
}
Basically this script is being used as a work around for a problem we
have encountered in Cherrypy (python web server). What we are trying
to do is to show "status_" page even if the server does not respond
with the newest data we have (last one we got from the server before
it stopped responding). When I use it with FF and IE7, it works just
fine. When I use it with IE6, new data is not being shown on the
"status_" page.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
