Hi all,

I have an issue in IE where entries within an RSS feed stopped after 50 or so entries. In IE only, entries closest to the top only show upto May 2011, however in other browsers the full list of entries right upto January 2012 are all present.

If I subscribe to the RSS, then on next visit or page refresh I'm given the full list.

Any idea why this might be? Does IE only show the first ever 50 or so entries for an RSS feed?

How are you fetching and displaying the RSS feed?

Dynamically. The client updates/adds news via their CMS which then repopulates the RSS feed.

So are you using PHP to read the RSS XML for display or Javascript (or something entirely different)?

The RSS Feed appears like any other RSS Feed, however it has been dynamically created and updated using PHP.

Okay. I was just trying to get a background on what setup you've got. The reason I asked is because on my company's custom blog we have recently swapped the way the display of posts is being handled from Javascript to PHP as they weren't updating quickly.

PHP seems to fetch updates immediately, whereas we had to wait anywhere between an hour and 2 days to see new posts with JS. Posts are hand-written to the XML file though, but I would assume any PHP-written code would be equivalent...

Okay interesting, thanks for your insights.

In my case, news updates appeared to have stopped upto May 2011 on IE only. Viewing the exact same feed on all other browsers shows them upto recently.

I can only assume it's something to do with IE then.

Thank you for your advice
