Ok - I'm having a problem with folder views through IE - I don't think it's a problem (as such) with something I have done.

Bascially what I have is, I'm running Tomcat (4) on port 8080, and through tomcat I can access a directory in my file system, using webdav - and using the link below I can view that dir through IE as a folder view

Code:

<style>A {BEHAVIOR: url(#default#AnchorClick)}</style> 
<a href="http://localhost:8080/Myapp/dirs/me" folder="http://localhost:8080/Myapp/dirs/me" class="files">
<img src="img/chkout-directory.gif" width="45" height="45" border="0"align="absmiddle">
View your directory
</a>

Now, the problem is, if I add a file to that directory, the folder view doesn't update - even if I change page and use that link again (sometimes after 10 minutes it updates) - the only way to see the new file, is to open a new IE session.
Originally I thought it was something to do with the webdav stuff, however, if I just use the url above without using the folder stuff, I get an upto date textual view of the dir.

Anyone got any ideas how I can get the folder view to update? - I've tried adding on a parameter to the url, to try and force a refresh, but that has no effect....
