I've done hours of research but I can't seem to find an answer to a
very simple problem.
I have a catalog site where a user can upload an image for a certain
product. He/she edits the product by uploading a different image.
The problem is that the image is being cached and it doesn't get
refreshed unless a user manually refreshes his/her browser.
I've tried HTTP headers, Meta tags, htaccess and javascript. How are
you guys doing this? The text of the product (stored in a db) changes
but the image (stored in a directory) doesn't.
I've read of spoofing the url so it's different each time. I rather
not set no-cache to the entire page because it would slow down
searches. I just need the images to be refreshed.

I can't remember where I heard this, but I seem to remember that if you add
a question mark to the end of the image source, the browser will not cache
it. ie.
<img src="item0001.j pg?" />
Can anyone else verify this?

I remember the same, but with a random number on the end
<img src="item0001.j pg?1234567890">
That way the browser sees a different number each time (well by law of
averages). You could use time ?hhmmss

Better yet, with the webcam thing I made once, I used the time() to
create a number. That way it's different every time..
Thanks guys. Adding '?'.time() did the trick.

Hi there,
My boss is hoping that I can come up with a page that displays some
information. The information will always be displayed on specific part of
the page, with auto refresh. But he doesn't want the whole page to be
refreshed so that buttons and images around the information do not get
reloaded each time. Is this really possible?
Other pages on this site don't use frames, so this page can't use frams too.

Normally in Internet Explorer these images display fine. But

Hello,
I have a very strange problem. When I load up a page, all the images
look fine, but when I refresh the page, all the images become dead.
This happens on both IE and netscape.
I have each image set up as

src="/<dirname>/<imagename>.gif" alt="<imagetext>" border=0 /></a>

Hey there,
I've browsed for some fixes to this but only found a couple of similar
posts, which didn't solve my problem. I'm wondering how to refresh an
image control in a form after a user clicks a cmd button to open the
Windows API Common Dialog and selects a new file (jpeg). Images are
initially loaded in the form's oncurrent event. I've tried using
me.dirty = false to make the form current. Has anyone experienced
this before?

I have a page that displays a picture. In the page load I figure out which
image and then do a StudentPicutre.imageurl = <some file name>
But if you use the browser's back button, enter different criteria, then
click the view button, the code runs to load a different picture, but the
old one shows up until I hit the browser's refresh button.
What am I doing wrong? How do I force the browser to load the new image?
Thanks,

Overview:
I have a custom web app that has an 'Inbox' that refreshes every 30 seconds.
One user uses Outlook to host the web page.
Using IE, the refresh works fine. If the user is working in another window,
the
web page quietly refreshes in the background.
Hosted in Outlook, the refresh causes Outlook to come to the front on
every refresh. Or in XP, causes the toolbar icon to flash.

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.
