>Is index.asp the container, and does "INCLUDEs" refer to the contained frames?
I meant the INCLUDE ASP command.
For me, with IE, if I click on the HOME button, from the top of the main, once every minute, I will get the updated content as the banners are being refreshed every minute, so if the news content is updated. So, even if Index.asp doesn't change, IE detects that.
