Does browser cache images?

Hi:

When I change an image, but keep same title, then upload image to hosting
server, my browser will display old image until I refresh. If I close
browser, then open same page again, I have to refresh again to view new
image. It's not until I have done this a few times will get new image
without refreshing. Seems like browser is somehow holding on to old image.
Anyone know what causes this and how to prevent it?

Thanks,
Charlie

Well, you can go into the IE options dialog and adjust the "Temporary
Internet files" settings.

Yes, browsers cache images to improve performance.
You can clear your browser cache any time you want through the options menu.

Is it correct to assume that anything gets cached? E.g. Java applets?

We had this exact problem with files, uploading and then when downloading,
it still downloaded the old file. The solution to this was to ensure that
the date of the new file is greater than the date of the old file Give it a
shot - I bet it will work.
