automatic image reload?

Is there a script available to automatically reload images on visiting
a page? I change images once a week and they have the same name so
I'm not changing the page code. Some people have the previous week's
image in their cache. I'd rather not put a message line on the page
asking the visitor to hit the refresh button nor use a code that
reloads the whole page unless reloding the page is an only option.

Thanks for your suggestions,

John

Append a unique "search" suffix to the src of each image.
You could do this as the page loads, but it's simpler to
do it after the load, as in this example:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function refreshImages() {
var search="?"+(new Date()).getTime ();
for(var i=0;i<document. images.length;d ocument.images[i++].src+=search);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="refresh Images()">
<img src="http://www.azphx.com/dhtml/tmp/alpha6464.jpg">
<img src="http://www.azphx.com/dhtml/tmp/beta6464.jpg">
</body>
</html>

Client-side JavaScript will not help you in general here: It can be
restricted, disabled or not even supported. You can define that
standards-compliant UAs should always re-download the document and its
linked resources from the original source (that should also exclude the
cache of proxy servers, you did not think about that):

<head>
...
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
...
</head>

On the Web (using HTTP,) you can use the `Expires' HTTP header the same way.
See RFC 2616 for details.

Another way are cookies that store the date of last visit and if that was
more than a week ago, you force to reload with `location.reloa d(true)'. But
their storage may be seen as a violation of privacy.

How to refresh cached image ONCE

Hi all, I have an application which generates image graphs. These cache nicely at the client, however if the user submits more data, I'd like to force a reload of the image from the server. I had a google, but all I could find were suggestions to use a varying query in the URL. This is not a solution to my problem because if I change the page to do that then ALL the graphs will be reloaded every time.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
