IE and temporary internet files.

Hi,

We have a Tomcat web server that hosts html files that are editable through
WebDAV.

To edit a html file in the server, a user uses Internet Explorer to load the
page, then selects 'Edit with Microsoft Office Word'. This will bring up the
MS Word containing the html file to edit.

This works fine, but once in a blue moon, when a user wishes edit a file
from the server, a local copy is loaded instead (from ...\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\xxxxx\). This loaded file have a strange filename, eg.
myfile[1].html

Does anyone know why this is?
Is this behaviour related to any Internet Explorer settings?

Thank you,
Lucy
 
In IE go to Tools...Internet Options...General tab...Settings button, set
the "Check for newer versions..." to "Every visit to the page".

What is your cache-checking option set to?
Automatic? Try Every visit... instead.
(in Tools, Options, Settings...)
 
Hi Jon,

Thank you for the reply.

Do you know what the "[1]" attached to the filename means?
eg. myfile[1].html

And what the difference between
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5

Regards,
Lucy

First copy. There was already a file named myfile.html when myfile[1].html
was put there.

All of the actual TIF files are in the subfolders in Content.IE5; the whole
TIF structure is a bit unreal, depending on how Windows is showing it to
you.

Is there any settings such that if a file myfile.html already exists it will
not create a copy myfile[1].html, but it will overwrite the original
myfile.html instead?

In my case, this means the web browser would always load the original copy.
So if someone edits it, the copy from the web server will be edited instead
of the myfile[1].html that resides locally on the PC.

Is this what the setting "Check for newer versions... Every visit to the
page." do?

Thank you.

I don't believe so.
