HOWTO: Force image refresh |
Problem Summary
A page containing an image with a fixed name such as
<IMG SRC="images/photo.jpg">
is usually displayed with a cached version of photo.jpg even after a new image
under the same name is uploaded to the server.
This article offers a simple trick to force an image refresh.
Solution
To force an image refresh, the SRC attribute of the <IMG> needs to assume a new and unique value
with every page refresh.
Since the image name is fixed, the changing part should be appended
to the filename with the ? character used as a delimiter.
In VBScript, the Rnd and Randomize functions can be used to ensure uniqueness, for example:
<%
...
Randomize
%>
<IMG SRC="images/photo.jpg?<% = Rnd %>">
