Thanks for the reply, Dan. I use _IG_FetchContentAsJSON() in my gadget, and this doesn't seem to like it when I parameterise the URL. If I type this:
http://www.themarker.com/tmc/content/xml/rss/hpfeed.jhtml?ignore=3
into my IE address bar, it works fine. However, when I use it as the URL for my function call it returns an error. This seems to break the "fix" for the caching problem.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

Hey arb,
This looks like a caching issue, although seeing a cached entry way back from 2006-9-15 seems very old. There are ways to control the caching mechanism in the _IG_FetchContent() methods. You can set it to retrieve new content hourly, daily, monthly, etc.
Here's a previous post where I describe how to do

Thanks!

I'm not sure where to post this, but wondered if anyone here can help me diagnose a problem so that I can work out where to go next. A user of my Tabbed RSS gadget contacted me to say that they were having a problem with a couple of their favourite feeds. Apparently they were working fine, but now are showing only out of date information. To make things slightly complex, the feeds are in Hebrew, but I can replicate what they're seeing when trying this one out:
If I open the feed in IE, I can see the XML and the pubDate is today. However, when I use the same feed in my gadget, or anyone else's for that matter, I get content from 15 September 2006.
This appears to be an issue with Google's caching of the feed content - would others agree?
