Hi
Maybe I found a solution, but i can't evaluate if this script is really useful. Check it out.
Q: How can I force a reload of an image from the server if the image already exists in the browser's cache?
A: By adding a different search string value after the image href. The
following reloads the image from the server every 10 seconds:
<img src="picture.gif" name="myImageName"> <script language="JavaScript">
<!--function reloadImage() {
var now = new Date();
if (document.images) {
document.images.myImageName.src = 'picture.gif?' + now.getTime();
setTimeout('reloadImage()',10000);
} setTimeout('reloadImage()',10000);
//-->
</script>
